The former Michigan State star pleaded guilty in Arizona in 2012 to two counts of failure to pay child support. He was ordered to pay approximately $323,000.
Authorities claim the 49-year-old Rison has been delinquent in his payments and has paid less than $35,000.
Rison was a five-time Pro Bowl wide receiver during a 12-year career spent with seven NFL teams.

"I lost my tolerance for a lot of things," Jones told the radio station. "I probably should have had a little more tolerance with Jimmy Johnson. Seriously."
