Former MLB star outfielder Johnny Damon was arrested Friday morning outside of Orlando on charges of driving under the influence, among other charges, according to a CBS Miami report.
Damon, a two-time World Series champion with the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees, was arrested around 8:15 a.m. by Windermere police, the report said. He had a blood alcohol level of over 0.20, according to police reports, more than double the legal limit of 0.08. He was charged with a DUI and with resisting an agent without violence.
Damon, 47, is from Orlando and is being held in the Orange County Corrections Department, by CBS Miami. Windermere is about 20 minutes west of downtown, near Universal Studios.
The star outfielder played in the majors for 18 years, first with the Kansas City Royals. The franchise drafted him in the first round of the 1992 draft. He became a popular figure with the Red Sox, where he started playing from 2002 to 2005. The team won the 2004 World Series.
He left to play for the rival Yankees for four seasons and jumped around three different teams in three seasons before retiring in 2012 at the age of 38.
