Detroit baseball player arrested for alleged drunk driving

Detroit Tigers first baseman, Miguel Cabrera, was arrested for suspected drunk driving and two counts of resisting an officer without violence late Wednesday night, according to a Florida sheriff's office, according to CNN.

Cabrera, 27, was obtained and put into the St. Lucie County, Florida jail at 12:20 a.m. on Thursday, about an hour after the arrest. He posted bail of $1,350 and was released at 7:45 a.m. on Thursday.

According to an arrest affidavit, Cabrera refused to take a breathalyzer test, cursed at the officers and said, "Do you know who I am?"

The first baseman also grabbed a bottle of Scotch and started to drink it in front of the officers, according to the affidavit.  

The confrontation occurred when authorities found a vehicle's engine compartment smoking on the side of the road.

The deputy "detected a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage" coming from the driver, named as Cabrera on his license, according to the report. "His eyes were bloodshot and watery and his speech was ... heavily slurred."  

Cabrera was cited for having an open container of alcohol in the car, along with facing the misdemeanor charges.

It has not yet been determined whether or not Cabrera has an attorney.
