Orioles pitcher Sidney Ponson was arrested early today on a charge of
drunken driving, the latest mishap for the pitcher considered the ace of the
staff a year ago.
Maryland Transportation Authority police arrested Ponson at 1:31 a.m. on
southbound Interstate 95, just south of Baltimore, said Cpl. Pamela Thorne,
a spokeswoman for the agency.
Authorities said Ponson, who was driving a 2005 Mercedes-Benz, was stopped
fortailgating, given a field sobriety test and was charged with driving under
the influence and driving while impaired. At the station, Ponson refused a
breathalyzer test, which carries an automatic 120-day suspension of his license
for a first offense.
A year ago, Ponson was considered the team's ace and was the Opening Day
pitcher in 2004.
But he has had a troubled offseason and a disappointing season.
He was charged in January with driving under the influence in Broward
County, Fla. That case has not yet been resolved.
That arrest came just weeks after he spent 11 days in an Aruban jail for a
Christmas Day fight at a beach. He apologized for the fight and reached a
settlement that involved community service and a charitable contribution.
Ponson has been on the disabled list with a calf strain and hasn't pitched
since Aug. 7. A magnetic resonance imaging Wednesday found a torn ligament in
his thumb, and he was expected to be out of action for at least three more
weeks. He is 7-11 with a 6.21 ERA. He hasn't won since June 18.
The Orioles did not immediately return a call seeking comment. Ponson's
agent,Barry Praver, also did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
