The Washington Nationals have fired an employee who allegedly threw two cups of hot coffee in the face of a female convenience-store employee in the Dominican Republic, the team told ESPN on Saturday.
In a Twitter video posted Friday night, Jazhiel Morel, who was the administrator of the Nationals' academy in Boca Chica, Dominican Republic, was shown filling up coffee cups before exchanging words with the cashier and then throwing the coffee on her.
Morel has agreed to turn himself in to police Monday morning, his lawyer, Rafael Ariza, told Dominican journalist Edith Febles.
