Cards’ Tony La Russa arrested for DUI
Tony La Russa was busted Thursday morning when cops found him asleep in his SUV at a green light in Florida. Cops watched while the SUV stayed put through two green lights & their initial attempts to get his attention failed. La Russa was arrested for drunken driving, w/ a blood alcohol content over Florida’s legal limit.
He was arrested and booked at the Palm Beach County jail on the misdemeanor, according to police and jail records. He was released about 8:30 a.m. after posting $500 cash bond, said Paul Miller, a Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office spokesman.
Wow, my wildest dreams have come true… seriously though, I don’t like this guy one bit. He’s arrogant and a jerk. Luckily he didn’t hurt or injure anyone while he was driving.
La Russa is a four-time manager of the year and led the St. Louis Cardinals to the World Series championship last season. He also won the title in 1989 with the Oakland Athletics and has won three other pennants. His 2,297 wins over 28 seasons with the Chicago White Sox, A’s and Cardinals is third all-time.
