Jim Leyritz, Ex Yankees Star, Arrested on Domestic Battery Charges

Jim Leyritz, a former New York Yankees player, was arrested early Thursday morning on domestic battery charges.

Leyritz’s wife Karrie Leyritz has accused him of dragging her out of bed and shoving her to the floor because she wrote a check without his permission. She fled to a neighbor’s house where she called police. Authorities say Karrie suffered a cut above her eye.

Police say Karrie, who admitted she had been drinking, also gave two “totally different” accounts of the alleged attack. The couple’s three children were sleeping at the time of the incident. Two of the children said they didn’t hear anything and the third said his mother likely hit herself.

Leyritz was booked at the Broward County Main Jail in Florida on simple domestic battery. The 45-year-old also faces DUI manslaughter charges from a fatal accident in December 2007. His trial is set to begin on September 14.

Leyritz played 11 seasons in major league baseball. He played for the Yankees, Anaheim Angels, Texas Rangers, Boston Red Sox, San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers.
