Milton Bradley Arrested: Mariners Outfielder Nabbed in L.A. for Allegedly Threatening Woman

Seattle Mariners outfielder Milton Bradley was arrested Tuesday morning in Los Angeles after he allegedly threatened a woman.

Bradley was arrested on charges of making terrorist threats, after a woman called the Los Angeles Police Department's West Valley Station.

Officers went to Bradley's home at 10:40 a.m. and arrested him, said Officer Gregory Baek. Seven hours later, Bradley's $50,000 bail was posted and he was released from custody, Baek said.

Jack Zduriencik, the Mariners' executive vice president and general manager of baseball operations, confirmed that "Milton had been arrested and subsequently released in Los Angeles."

"While we do not yet have full details on what occurred, we are aware of the situation and take it very seriously," Zduriencik told the station.

Laurence Maroney Arrested on Weapons, Drug Charges in St. Louis

NFL player Laurence Maroney has been arrested by St. Louis police.

Maroney, 25, was held on unlawful weapons charges and drug charges. Maroney was released from jail early Tuesday morning.

Maroney and five other men in their mid-twenties were in a vehicle pulled over by officers late Monday night near Chaifetz Arena. Police say Maroney and his friends had three guns on them.

Maroney is a back-up running back for the Denver Broncos. He was traded at the beginning of the 2010 season by the New England Patriots, who drafted Maroney in the first round of the 2006 NFL draft.

Maroney's publicist, Jane Higgins, confirmed that he was one of those arrested on the weapons allegation. She denied Maroney was arrested for drugs.

"He holds a permit to carry a concealed weapon," Higgins said in a statement. "He was not arrested for any drugs nor was he involved in a high-speed chase. He was released without being charged with any offense and we do not anticipate he will be charged with any criminal offense."

Police spokeswoman Erica Van Ross said one of the men had a valid concealed weapon permit but that state law prohibits possessing a gun while under the influence of drugs. She declined to elaborate.

Police say applications for warrants could take up to a month, pending the results of a crime lab report on what is believed to be marijuana.

Police mention nothing about a high speed chase in their report. They say around 10:30 p.m. Monday "three vehicles were circling Chaifetz Arena and causing traffic to slow when the persons in the vehicles repeatedly stopped the vehicles in order to talk to passersby. Several of the occupants of the vehicles were observed smoking what was believed to be marijuana. Officers stopped two of the vehicles but a third fled from police and was not located."

Five other people were in the other vehicle pulled over by police. One of them, a 28-year-old man, was arrested for being a felon in possession of a weapon.

altimore Ravens Sergio Kindle Arrested; NFL Career Likely over in Baltimore


The Baltimore Ravens are filled with excitement after clinching a playoff birth today, while Sergio Kindle continues his awful rookie season after being arrested today on a DUI.

Kindle, a former standout at the University of Texas, was drafted in the second round by the Baltimore Ravens in the 2010 NFL Draft.

Injuries and questions about his character made him a second-round talent. The Ravens had intentions of making him a good pass rusher not only in the future but in his rookie season as well.

However, everything has gone wrong in his first year as an NFL player. Kindle suffered a fractured skull after falling down multiple flights of stairs in his own home.

The Ravens placed Kindle on injured reserve in August and hoped he would return healthy for 2011.

It's tough for me to see Kindle in a Ravens uniform next season. This is the second off-the-field issue Kindle has dealt with in the past six months.

What is even more devestating about this is this act took place during the middle of the night, with Kindle also driving over the speed limit.

General manager Ozzie Newsome and head coach John Harbaugh believed Kindle would be more responsible for his actions after his troubles early on.

With the crime Kindle committed today, I can't see a disciplinarian like Harbaugh allowing him to come back or even gain any playing time.

Since Kindle's first mixup over the summer, people questioned whether or not he would be a draft bust. In the end, it seems Kindle won't have a chance to live up to his potential due to inexcusable actions off-the-field.


Redskin rookie arrested for DUI hours after first NFL game


LEESBURG, Va. | Washington Redskins defensive lineman Joe Joseph was arrested on charges of driving under the influence early Monday morning, less than 24 hours after making his NFL debut.

Vincent DiBenedetto, a spokesman with the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office, said Joe Louis Joseph Jr. was booked around 3 a.m. Monday after deputies responded to a report of a single-vehicle accident shortly after midnight.

Hours earlier, Joseph and the Redskins had returned from Jacksonville following a 20-17 overtime win. Joseph played as a reserve in his first game as an active member of an NFL roster.

Joseph, 25, joined the Redskins' practice squad Dec. 15 and was promoted to the main roster on Saturday. He spent training camp with the Tennessee Titans as an undrafted rookie from the University of Miami and was a member of the New York Giants practice squad earlier this season.

He was later released on his own recognizance. Authorities did not know if he had an attorney.

Redskins coach Mike Shanahan said he was still learning the details of the incident and would make a statement after he has spoken with Joseph.

Denver Bronco Kevin Alexander arrested, cut from team


Aurora Police say they were called to Kevin Alexander's apartment in Aurora just before 10 a.m. Monday morning. Police say Alexander's girlfriend called 911. According to investigators, the incident in question happened Sunday night.

According to the arrest report, Alexander's girlfriend told police she and Alexander got into an argument Sunday night when he got home. 9NEWS is choosing not to release the victim's name because she is a victim of domestic violence.

The woman told the officer the argument was over Alexander cheating on her. The arrest report states the woman told police Alexander has been cheating on her with one of her friends for some time.

The woman told police the 23-year-old "became very mad and eventually grabbed her several times."

According to the police report Alexander grabbed the victim by both arms and threw her to the ground.

"He then grabbed her around the throat and pushed her against the wall," the arrest report states. "She states she was either punched or slapped in the right side of her face."

The woman also told police she was upset about the incident but didn't want to do anything that would "jeopardize his career."

"She feels they will immediately cut him," the arrest report states.

According to police documents, at one point the woman grabbed a steak knife to keep Alexander away.

The woman also told police Alexander punched her once before.

Alexander was booked into the Aurora Detention Center and posted a $2,000 bond. He was released from jail at 2 p.m. Monday afternoon.

The Broncos announced Monday afternoon that Alexander had been cut from the team. Alexander played in eight games and had four tackles in his rookie season.

9NEWS has contacted Alexander for comment but has been unsuccessful in reaching him.

His next court date is Tuesday.
