Former Major League Baseball player Dwight Gooden, who played for both the New York Mets and the New York Yankees, was reportedly arrested in New Jersey on Tuesday, after crashing his car while driving under the influence of drugs, according to cnsnews.com.
And according to the original source WCBS in New York; Gooden reportedly had a kid travelling with him as a passenger, at the time of the crash. Franklin Lakes police Captain Joseph Seltenrich, said that Gooden had crashed his car around 8:50 am, on Old Mill Road.
It wasn’t actually clear at the time, whose child it was that was travelling with the former pitcher. After conducting an on-scene investigation, police arrested 45-year old Gooden. He was then charged with driving under the influence, as well as other charges.
Gooden was then released on his own recognizance. Police didn’t actually say what drugs they believed Dwight was on, but he has waged a highly-publicized battle with both alcohol and drugs, including cocaine. You would think he would have learned his lesson by now.
