NEWARK, N.J. — Ex-New York Mets pitcher Dwight Gooden has been arrested again in New Jersey.
Newark police says Gooden was pulled over Monday night after driving the wrong way down a one-way road and charged with driving while intoxicated.
Last month, the 54-year-old was charged with drug possession after suspected cocaine was found in his car.
In a text to Newsday on Tuesday, Gooden said he’s “going away for a while to try and save my life.”
Gooden won the National League Cy Young Award with the Mets in 1985 and was a member of the Mets 1986 World Series championship team.
