Someone please buy Jim Leyritz a bicycle
Ex-New York Yankee Jim Leyritz has been arrested on charges that he violated his bond by drinking alcohol while awaiting trial for allegedly driving drunk in 2007 and killing a woman.
Leyritz, who has been out on a pretrial release since the arrest, was booked into Broward County's main jail Friday afternoon, according to the Broward Sheriff's Office.
On Dec. 28, 2007, Leyritz was out celebrating his 44th birthday when he allegedly ran a red light and crashed his sport utility vehicle into a car driven by Fredia Ann Veitch, who was just leaving her bartending job in Fort Lauderdale.
Tests later indicated both were driving drunk at the time of the 3:20 a.m. accident.
Leyritz, of Davie, is charged with DUI manslaughter by impairment and DUI manslaughter by unlawful blood-alcohol level stemming from the crash. He could face a maximum of 15 years in prison and has pleaded not guilty.
Leyritz was allowed to remain free as long as he did not drink alcohol or consume a controlled substance.
