FORT PIERCE, Fla. (AP) — Detroit Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera has been arrested on drunken driving charges in Florida.

 

The St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office says the 27-year-old's car engine was smoking alongside a road late Wednesday when a deputy spotted the vehicle.

 

According to the arrest report, Cabrera smelled of alcohol, had slurred speech and took a swig from a bottle of scotch in front of a deputy.

 

Police say Cabrera repeatedly refused to cooperate, saying, "Do you know who I am, you don't know anything about my problems."

 

In 2009, the All-Star first baseman got into a fight with his wife after a night of drinking, right before his team surrendered the American League Central Division title to the Twins.

 

Cabrera posted $1,350 bond and was released Thursday.

 

According to tcpalm.com, a deputy reported Cabrera was put in handcuffs after not following orders. Cabrera also “kept running out in the road with his hands up.”

 

A deputy asked Cabrera to get his a patrol vehicle, and he said, “(Expletive) you.”

 

Miguel Cabrera pushed off a vehicle into a deputy, who “delivered 3-4 knee spikes” into Cabrera’s left thigh.

 

In addition to the DUI charge, Miguel Cabrera faces two misdemeanor counts of resisting an officer without violence. Sheriff’s officials also issued Cabrera a citation for open container of alcohol in a motor vehicle.
