World Series hero Scott Spiezio taken into custody after being tased by Illinois police

A World Series hero was reportedly taken down by cops last week after allegedly smashing through a neighbour's window.

Scott Spiezio, a two-time World Series champ, was hunted down by police in Ottawa, Ill. last Tuesday after his girlfriend alerted authorities the clutch MLBer had allegedly punched out a window just before 3 a.m., according to TMZ Sports.

After the 42-year-old fled the scene, cops used a K-9 unit to track down the switch-hitter, the report said.

He was found a few hours later and authorities reportedly used a taser to take him into custody.

While Spiezio hasn't been formerly charged with a crime, TMZ Sports reports the case is under review.
