Dominican Police Issue APB for Ex-Texas Rangers OF Vlad Guerrero

It appears former Texas Rangers outfielder Vladimir Guerrero has a little too much time on his hands since he’s not in uniform this summer– so far, anyway– for any MLB club.

According to a few reports, Dominican police are in pursuit of Guerrero and have issued an APB for his arrest following an alleged bar brawl in Santo
Domingo last evening.

In the midst of a bar brawl, it is being reported that Guerrero assaulted a Dominican police officer prior to fleeing the scene.

The following is an excerpt from the Dominican News describing what happened:

The National Police on Tuesday announced an all points bulleting for the arrest of Major League Baseball star Vladimir Guerrero, for the alleged aggression against of a Police major and for unleashing a brawl in a discotheque.

Police spokesman Maximo Baez said one of Guerrero’s brothers, two cousins and a worker are being held for their alleged part in the melee.

Police chief major general (Jose) Polanco instructed Baní regional (south) director general (Juan Ramon) de la Cruz Martinez to continue the pursuit.

Known across baseball for his fiery temper on and off the field, this report is hardly a surprise.

Few details beyond what was reported by the Dominican News have yet been made available, but if an APB has been issued for Guerrero’s arrest, one has to assume things won’t be getting better any time soon.

Vlad Guerrero last appeared in a major league uniform for the Baltimore Orioles in 2011, hitting .290 with 13 home runs and 63 runs batted in.

The funny thing is, there had to be a few teams in desperate need of a power bat– the Chicago Cubs are one I can think of off the top– that may have considered Guerrero for a mid-to-late season rental, but given this recent situation may now pull back.

We’ll update this article with additional details as they become available, but for now, things look dark for Vlad.
