Florida Marlins pitcher Scott Olsen was arrested early Saturday morning in Aventura after refusing to pull over during a traffic stop, police said, and reported in The Miami Herald.
He was charged with driving under the influence, resisting arrest with violence, fleeing and eluding a police officer,
and getting hit by a Taser stun gun during a fight.
The arrest came just hours after Olsen made a spirited return to the mound after a two-game suspension for fighting in the dugout with a teammate.
The Marlins could not be reached for comment this morning.
An officer who was running a radar check in the area of Country Club Drive and 191st Street clocked Olsen speeding shortly after 3 A.M. this morning, said Capt. William Washa, a department spokesman.
''The officer went to pull him over and he refused to stop,'' Washa said.
Olsen, 23, finally stopped his car when he reached his home in Aventura, Washa said. There, he began fighting with the officers and refused to take a Breathalyzer test, Washa said.
