Former Texas Rangers All-Star Josh Hamilton was arrested Wednesday in Tarrant County, Texas, on suspicion of injury to a child, a third-degree felony, according to multiple reports.

According to an arrest warrant affidavit obtained by the Dallas Morning News, one of his daughters told authorities that Hamilton became upset about something she said, then threw a water bottle at her, hitting her. The girl told authorities he then pulled a chair out from under her and threw it at her. Hamilton then picked the girl up and carried her to her bedroom, where he held her head down with one hand and hit her legs with another, the girl said.
