Carl Everett Arrested In Florida

The police and former Major League Baseball players are having a good time getting acquainted this past week. A couple days ago it was Elijah Dukes now comes Carl Everett. That’s right former outfielder Carl Everett has been arrested on the chargers of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and tampering with a witness.

Former Major League outfielder Carl Everett is in a Tampa jail on charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and tampering with a witness.

Jail records indicate the 39-year-old Everett was arrested Monday night at his suburban Tampa home. He was booked into the Hillsborough County Jail shortly after midnight and is being held without bond.

Details of the arrest were not immediately available. Everett’s attorney, Clinton Paris, did not immediately return a call for comment. (AP report via Seattle Post-Intelligencer)

This charge definitely catches my interest for one reason, tampering with a witness. Did Carl find a new line of work? Did he blow through that $44+ million he earned in his career that he now has to take a job as muscle for the local drug runner? Yea, I know I’m just speculating but this is definitely something that makes you go hmmmmm.

Will be interesting to see what details emerge over the next day or so.
