The arrest of Chuck Knoblauch:
Throwing to make a put out was sometimes a problem for him when he played second base for the New York Yankees. However, he got into some real trouble when he started throwing things around his home.
Chuck Knoblauch was arrested in Houston and charged with assaulting his wife during a late night fight in their home in July, 2014. Cheryl Knoblauch told police she was sleeping in her child's bedroom when Chuck stormed in and said she should have been with him.
Police say she claims he then grabbed her and started smashing her head against the wall and then threw a humidifier at her. Police say he appeared to be very drunk during his fingerprinting and booking by the Harris County sheriff and was released after posting $10,000 bond.
