Former Cincinnati Bengal first-round draft choice James Francis was arrested in his home state of Texas on Thursday.

Francis has been a "wanted man" for more than four years for failing to pay $395,000 in back child support. A warrant was issued for his arrest as a result of his failure to appear at his arraignment. Drafted out of Baylor University in 1990 by the Bengals, the linebacker played for the team for nine seasons, where he earned millions of dollars in salary. His 2000 indictment indicated that as of December 2000, he owed $94,000 for a then-6-year-old son. In that case, Francis was ordered to pay the child's mother $6,000 per month in child support and another $120 per month to process his payment.
