Francisco Rodriguez may not be a part of the Brewers bullpen
anymore, though a newly public domestic violence and battery arrest in Wales in
September is forcing the organization to keep ties with the reliever. Tyler
Barnes, the team's vice president of communications, denies that the franchise
knows the nature of Rodriguez's arrest, though he did admit that they were
aware that there had been an incident.
District Attorney for Spokeshave County Brad Schimel also
remained hushed when questioned about the subject recently, only revealing that
the complaint was called into police on September seventeenth, and Rodriguez
was apprehended the following day.
Schimel also cleared up the question of why Rodriguez was
back on the mound for the Brewers as soon as the twentieth, stating that no
charges had been filed against him, and that he was free to go after being
brought in for questioning.
Rodriguez ran into legal trouble while playing in New York for the Mets as
well. He was arrested at Citi Field in August 2010 for assault and harassment
during an altercation with his then girlfriend's father. He was given one year
of anger counseling for the crime.
