Atlanta Braves' Marcell Ozuna arrested on domestic violence charges

Atlanta Braves outfielder Marcell Ozuna was arrested Saturday following an alleged domestic violence incident in Sandy Springs, Georgia. Ozuna was charged with aggravated assault by strangulation and battery, the Sandy Springs Police Department said in a statement.

SSPD said they received a 911 call about an assault in progress around 12:30 p.m. SSPD claims the door to the residence was open when officers arrived and that when they entered, they witnessed Ozuna "grabbing the victim by the neck and throwing her against a wall." Police identified the victim as Ozuna's wife. SSPD also alleged that Ozuna struck the victim with his arm, which was wrapped in a cast. Ozuna on Friday was placed on the injured list with two fractured fingers on his left hand, according to MLB.
