Former New Orleans Saints and San Diego Chargers wide receiver Robert Meachem is serving a 30-day sentence in jail after not paying "nearly $400,000 in child support and alimony owed to his ex-wife," according to Ramon Antonio Vargas of the New Orleans Advocate.

Meachem will serve the full sentence unless he pays Andrea Rhodes, his ex-wife and the mother of his two children, a minimum of $100,000.

According to Vargas, a domestic court determined in November that Meachem owed Rhodes approximately $588,000 and had only paid $200,000.
