Andre Rison, a former five-time Pro Bowl receiver, is facing arrest after a federal judge issued a warrant this week for multiple probation violations.

The warrant was signed in Flint, Mich., where Rison grew up and resides after a mercurial NFL career that ended in 2000 with the Raiders.

Rison, 49, is best known for his time with the Falcons and an infamous altercation with girlfriend Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, who burned down Rison's mansion in suburban Atlanta in 1994.

According to the Detroit Free Press, the warrant states Rison failed to meet child-support payments and also recently tested positive for marijuana.

Rison's son, Hunter, is one of the top recruits in the Midwest and committed to play receiver at Michigan State where his father played in the late 1980s.

Andre Rison told the Free Press on Wednesday he's a good father trying to turn his life around in the wake of legal problems.

"He lives under my roof. I take care of him. I coach his football team. ... We've become the best of friends," Rison told the Free Press, referring to his son. "I'm just tired. Here I am, being looked at like a hardcore criminal. ... I'm trying to do the right thing. My mistake was made years ago, and I'm still under this microscope. It's very frustrating."

Rison added that eating "marijuana candy" helps him cope with the daily pain from his playing days.
