Ex-Mets Pitcher Dwight Gooden Arrested for DUI

Former Mets pitcher Dwight Gooden was arrested for driving under the influence on Monday night, according to the New York Post.

Gooden was reportedly driving the wrong way down a one-way street before getting pulled over in Newark, NJ. Monday's arrest was his second in the last six weeks after being arrested for cocaine possession on July 12.

"It's sad to see the continued problems of this former Mets' star but it's an example of the persistent scourge of drugs and alcohol in this country," Newark public safety director Anthony Ambrose said in a statement.
