Strawberry arrested after traffic accident espn.go.com TAMPA, Fla. -- Darryl Strawberry, the suspended outfielder for the New York Yankees, was arrested Monday and jailed on charges of reckless driving and leaving the scene of an accident. Strawberry's sports utility vehicle hit a street sign and a car while weaving through traffic outside downtown Tampa, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office said. An off-duty deputy, watching through his rear-view mirror, saw Strawberry "weaving all over the road," the release said. The deputy watched as Strawberry's SUV veer off the roadway and hit a street sign, then come back onto the road, police said. The officer then followed him, saw him strike the Isuzu, and drive on, the release said. The deputy, driving his own, unmarked vehicle, was able to flag Strawberry to a stop a few blocks away and held him until on-duty officers arrived. No one was injured in the collisions. Strawberry was held at the scene in the back of a deputy's cruiser, then was taken to jail, deputies said. He was charged with leaving the scene of accident with property damage and with reckless driving. Strawberry, an eight-time All-Star, started his career with the New York Mets and later played in Los Angeles and San Francisco. He rejoined the Yankees last season but was suspended for most of last season after his arrest in Tampa, Fla., in April 1999 on drug and solicitation charges. Strawberry pleaded no contest to those charges and was sentenced to probation. He was suspended from baseball for a year in February after he tested positive for cocaine in January.
