Former NBA player Orlando Woolridge arrested for theft
MIAMI, Dec. 22 (UPI) -- Florida Marlins pitcher Dontrelle Willis faced drunken driving charges Friday following an early-morning arrest in Miami.
Willis, 24, was taken into custody about 4 a.m. outside a nightclub in South Beach. Police allege the pitcher was "confused and disoriented" when they confronted him for allegedly urinating on a public street and double-parking his Bentley.
Police said Willis failed a field sobriety test and refused to take a breath test. He was held on $1,000 bond in the Miami-Dade County Jail.
Willis, a fan favorite in Miami for his outgoing style, was 12-12 with a 3.87 earned run average for the Marlines last season. He has a career record of 58-39 and a 3.44 ERA over four major league seasons.
