Lenny Dykstra Arrest Video Released: 'I'm a Convicted Felon, I Can't Own a Firearm'

Police body camera footage of Lenny Dykstra's recent arrest for making terroristic threats, possession of cocaine, possession of MDMA—also known as ecstasy—and possession of marijuana, shows Dykstra and the Uber driver he allegedly threatened explaining their sides of the story before the former All-Star was placed in handcuffs.

Dykstra was arrested last month in New Jersey after allegedly putting a weapon to the head of the driver because he would not change the destination of their trip. In the video, the driver, who is named Brian Lutty according to Rob Tornoe of The Philadelphia Inquirer, explains that after Dykstra put a bag to his head and threatened to shoot him, he pushed the former centerfielder back into his seat and continued to push him and make sure the door was locked as he drove to the Linden Township police station.
