Source: Chapman trade paused by MLB inquiry

Cincinnati Reds closer Aroldis Chapman fired eight gunshots in the garage of his Davie, Florida, home and was accused of choking his girlfriend during an Oct. 30 incident, according to a police report obtained by Yahoo! Sports.

Chapman's girlfriend told police that the incident started when she questioned him about something on his cellphone. Chapman admitted to police that he fired the gun but denied choking his girlfriend.

Police said in the report that they did not make any arrests because of inconsistencies in stories and no physical evidence of injuries. Four days later, Assistant State Attorney Marcie Zaccor also said there was insufficient evidence to charge Chapman in the incident.
