Yasiel Puig arrested for driving 110 mph

Los Angeles Dodgers phenom outfielder Yasiel Puig was arrested on the morning of Saturday, Dec. 28, in Collier County, Fla. for reckless driving—his second such charge of 2013.

Per Florida Highway Patrol officials, the 23-year-old Dodgers star was arrested around 9:30 a.m. after being pulled over for driving 110 mph in a 70 mph zone. He was driving a 2013 Mercedes in Alligator Alley, which is located in the southern part of Florida.

In April of 2013, shortly before he was called up to the major leagues, he was charged with speeding, reckless driving and driving without proof of insurance, per the Los Angeles Times' Kevin Baxter.

”We’re aware of it," Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti said following Puig's first arrest. "We take it seriously. We’ll be handling discipline internally."
