Odubel Herrera becomes the latest player arrested for domestic violence:
The Atlantic City Police Department announced in a news release that Herrera, 27, was arrested after police responded to a reported incident at the Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino shortly after 8:30 p.m.
Officers identified the victim as a 20-year-old woman, whom they described as Herrera’s girlfriend, and said she had “visible signs of injury to her arms and neck.” She refused medical attention, according to police.USAToday.com
Herrera was charged with simple assault and released on a summons. It is immediately unclear when he will next appear in court.
He is now on administrative leave as MLB investigates the incident. This likely does not hurt the Phillies much, as Herrera only started 32 games this season and put up poor offensive numbers.
