Braves OF Marcell Ozuna arrested for DUI in Georgia

Atlanta Braves outfielder Marcell Ozuna was arrested for driving under the influence early Friday morning.

Norcross Police said Ozuna was pulled over for failing to maintain the proper lane and later booked at Gwinnett County Jail for DUI.

Ozuna, who was arrested in May 2021 on charges of felony assault after Sandy Springs police say they witnessed him choke his wife, is a two-time MLB All-Star and a two-time Silver Slugger Award winner.

The outfielder-turned-designated hitter led the majors in home runs during the shortened 2020 MLB season and was also the league leader in RBIs that year -- his first with Atlanta.
