Joe Halderman-A "48 Hours" producer arrested in a David Letterman extortion plot, was required to pay his wife $6800 a month in child support and alimony.
The network said the person who was arrested works on the true-crime show "48 Hours" and has been suspended. A person with knowledge of the investigation said the suspect is Robert J. Halderman. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because authorities have not released the suspect's name.
A "48 Hours" producer named Joe Halderman was part of a team nominated for an Emmy for outstanding continuing coverage of a news story in a news magazine in 2008. Two numbers listed for Halderman were disconnected, and a message left at a third number was not immediately returned Thursday.
Robert "Joe" Halderman was required to pay $6,800 a month in child and spousal support for three years in his 2004 divorce settlement with former spouse Patty Montet, according to documents obtained Friday by TMZ.com.
The "48 Hours" producer, who now lives in Norwalk, Conn., and his ex sold the family home and divided the proceeds - as well as split credit card bills totaling approximately $13,500. He also agreed to pay the medical bills and life insurance for his now 18- and 11-year-old kids.
