HuffPost
The former All-Star is charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and throwing a missile into public or private dwelling.
SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — Former major league shortstop Rafael Furcal is facing felony charges in South Florida, authorities said.
The former All-Star turned himself in at the Broward County jail on Wednesday and was released on bond a short time later, according to court records. He’s charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and throwing a missile into public or private dwelling.
Court records didn’t list a defense attorney for Furcal. His former agent, Paul Kinzer, declined to comment on the charges and did not provide a way to reach Furcal directly.
The Sunrise Police Department issued the warrant for Furcal’s arrest on Monday, but they didn’t immediately release details about what led to the criminal charges.
