Blue Jays Pitching Coach Pete Walker Arrested, Charged with DUI in Florida

Toronto Blue Jays pitching coach Pete Walker has been arrested and charged with driving under the influence.

Per Sportsnet's Arden Swelling, an arrest affidavit obtained through the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office shows that Walker was pulled over after allegedly going 82 mph in a 45 mph zone in Oldsmar, Florida. The Blue Jays are holding spring training in Dunedin, which is roughly seven miles from Oldsmar.

Walker reportedly did not consent to a breath alcohol content test, but he allegedly failed multiple field sobriety tests.

The affidavit says Walker appeared impaired and had a "strong odor of alcoholic beverage" in addition to poor balance and bloodshot eyes.
