Former All-Star Lenny Dykstra Charged With Making Terroristic Threats to Uber Driver

Former MLB outfielder Lenny Dykstra was arrested in New Jersey on Wednesday after putting a weapon to the head of an Uber driver and threatening to kill him, according to the New York Daily News.

Dykstra, 55, was charged with making terroristic threats, possession of cocaine, possession of MDMA—also known as ecstasy—and possession of marijuana, according to the Daily News.

Police said Dykstra put the weapon to the driver's head after the driver refused to change the destination of their trip, which led to the driver getting out of the car and running away for safety around 3:30 a.
