The curvy wife of former Mets pitcher Kris Benson was armed to the teeth when she busted into her estranged hubby’s home and tried to rob him at gunpoint of $30,000, a police report revealed Tuesday.
Anna Benson also gave cops a bizarre explanation about why she was wearing a bulletproof vest, telling them she was trying to get it to “mold to her body.”
The busty brunette said it was a new model and she was “testing” it for the company and “didn’t understand why [they] were making such a big deal out of this,” the report said.
The revelations came a day after the 37-year-old former “Baseball Wives” star was nabbed for barging into Benson’s home in Smyrna, Ga.
“It scared me,” the once mighty righty told cops.
Benson said his wife was “screaming and out of control” and feared she might shoot him. He said he told her money was in his wallet, but instead of fetching it he high-tailed it to the woods and called cops.
When Smyrna police arrived, they found Anna on the back porch smoking a cigarette.
IAN SCOTT, EMGAnna Benson has dropped jaws by posing topless in Penthouse and having sex with the pitcher in the stadium parking lot as fans waited.
“It’s inside,” she told cops as they cuffed her. “The gun.”
The former FHM model also had a knife in her waistband and was wearing an ammo belt “that had several rounds of ammunition,” the report said.
And she had plenty of contempt for her husband, repeatedly calling him a “p---y.”

Anna Benson admitted threatening him with an “expandable metal baton” and claimed “there were illegal drugs in the house,” the report stated.
Police have not confirmed there were drugs in the house, but among the items they removed was a bag of syringes and eight unidentified pills, according to the report.
In addition, police confiscated a Taurus handgun, 13 rounds of ammunition, a hatchet, a Taser, a computer hard drive and a court order of some kind.
