Royals pitcher Danny Duffy cited for DUI in Overland Park

Royals pitcher Danny Duffy was cited Sunday in Overland Park for driving under the influence, police said Tuesday.

The incident occurred about 8 p.m. near 135th Street and Metcalf Avenue.

Overland Park police officer and spokesman Brian Payne said he could not release further details until the police report is completed, probably sometime Tuesday afternoon.

Duffy’s first appearance in municipal court is scheduled for 1 p.m. Sept. 19.

On Sunday, the Royals finished a three-game series in Cleveland, losing 12-0 that afternoon. But Duffy was in Kansas City on Saturday to have a MRI exam of his elbow and was placed on the 10-day disabled list.
