Seattle Mariners infielder Jean Segura accused the Dominican Republic National Police of assaulting him and treating him like "some kind of criminal" while holding him at gunpoint and stealing some of his personal belongings.
On his Instagram account, Segura said armed police officers stopped his car and assaulted him in his native Domincan Republic. He published a photograph in which he is seated on the back of a pickup truck, surrounded by agents from the Central Anti-Narcotics Direction (DICAN, by its Spanish-language acronym).
"DICAN stops me while carrying rifles, they beat me up, throw me to the floor, steal my belongings and crash my car, as if I were some kind of criminal," Segura wrote.
