Mets' Langill arrested on DUI charge
New York Mets bullpen catcher Eric Langill was arrested on a charge of driving under the influence, following a single-car accident Sunday night in Port St. Lucie, Fla., near the team's spring training facilities.
The 32-year-old had a passenger with him, but it is unknown whether it was a Mets player. Langill was released Monday.
The accident occurred near the residential area where many of the players live when Langill allegedly had difficulty navigating a traffic circle. The incident is alleged to have happened after the team's weekly outing at a local bowling alley.
The Mets have not decided what they are going to do about the situation.
"At this point we don't have all the facts," general manager Sandy Alderson said Monday.
Alderson also said he was unaware there was a passenger in the car.
"We will be talking to Eric before we decide."
Alderson said the team would look at how their bowling nights, which the Mets started last spring training as a team-bonding exercise, are handled going forward. He was not ready to put a stop to them.
