Ozuna Arrested

It sounds like Marcell Ozuna may not need a major league investigation to lose playing time:

Atlanta Braves outfielder Marcell Ozuna was arrested Saturday and charged with felony assault after he choked his wife and threw her against a wall, according to Sandy Springs, Georgia, police who said they witnessed the incident.

Police charged the 30-year-old Ozuna, who is being held in Fulton County jail, with aggravated assault by strangulation — a felony that carries a minimum of three years and maximum of 20 years in prison — and misdemeanor battery.

It was one year ago that the wife was arrested for domestic battery. The police witnessing the assault I hope makes it more likely that Ozuna is punished by the law, not just MLB.

    IIRC, in some states if the cops witness it, there can be a prosecution even if the victim declines to press charges. And a three year minimum runs the clock on his contract. No team will resign him.
