Vlad Guerrero a Criminal?

"Me? Nah I didn't fight anybody"
What do players do when they haven't been signed by a Major League team? I'd imagine if you were to check in on Johnny Damon or Derrek Lee, they're probably practicing somewhere or out relaxing with their families. But if you head down to the Dominican Republic, in the city of Bani and look for Vladimir Guerrero you might not find him relaxing. He'll be out dancing at the disco El Punto, and possibly fighting and assaulting police officers. What?! That doesn't sound like our Vlad! That night, Vlad presented himself to the jail, and then in the morning to the arresting officers who were there that night. The police were looking for Guerrero and his two bodyguards after they allegedly left one person injured at the disco. Community leaders and Guerrero's brother spoke out to reporters the morning where Vlad surrendered himself to the authorities, defending the ballplayer's integrity. Vladimir told the press after he presented himself to the police that he had nothing to do with the injury of anyone at the club and came out because he had nothing to hide. But as of an hour ago (6:30pm EST), Guerrero's lawyer spoke out and stated that Vlad will not be charged with anything. It has been speculated that he had nothing to do with the fight that broke out at the disco, nor did his bodyguards. Phew! Thankfully Vladimir Guerrero can come back to MLB in the United States so none of this will happen again. And let's also hope that the only hitting that Vlad is dishing out, comes from in the batter's box.
