Don’t Tase Me Bro: Rays Pitcher Al Reyes Partied Hard, Gets Tased, Ended Up In The Slammer…

From the files of, “If you made this up, I would not believe you”…

From the AP: ays reliever Al Reyes apparently had a less- than-happy birthday, as the Tampa Bay pitcher was arrested early Friday morning after a fight in which he allegedly spit blood on people and was tasered twice by a police officer.

Tampa police issued a release Friday confirming the arrest. According to the release Reyes, who was celebrating his 38th birthday Thursday night, fell against a ceramic pot inside a bar around 2:30 a.m., and thought that another bar patron, Eduardo Mora, pushed him. This led to a dispute with Mora, who punched the righty reliever in the face.

Bouncers at the bar then restrained Mora while Reyes, whom the report said appeared to be intoxicated, “began to spit blood on the people in the area and began to swing his arms about.”

Bouncers tried to subdue the 6-foot-1, 240-pound reliever, but were unable to. A Tampa police officer yelled at Reyes to stop, but he apparently did not, and the officer tasered Reyes, knocking him to the ground.

Reyes then started to get back up, and the officer tasered him a second time before the Rays pitcher finally complied with police orders. Reyes was arrested and charged with affray, while Mora was arrested and charged with battery. Both men were released on their own recognizance.

Fun, fun. Yikes.
