Former Yankees World Series hero Jim Leyritz was arrested early Friday morning for DUI and vehicular homicide. He had been involved in a car crash in Ft. Lauderdale.
From the Miami Herald:
The jail website indicated Leyritz was charged with two counts of drunken driving, including DUI that causes death to a human. He had not posted an $11,000 bond as of Friday afternoon, records show.
A call to Fort Lauderdale police was not immediately returned. WPLG-ABC 10 reported a passenger in the car Leyritz allegedly hit was ejected from the car and died at the scene. The former baseball pro refused a sobriety test, the station reported, citing police.
