New York Mets legend Doc Gooden arrested for cocaine possession (Report)

Dwight Gooden was arrested last month in Holmdel, NJ for cocaine possession and driving under the influence, according to court documents obtained by Lia Eustachewich of the New York Post.

Gooden was stopped by Holmdel Police on June 7 for excessively-tinted windows and driving too slowly. According to Eustachewich’s report, officers found “two small green zip-lock style plastic baggies containing suspected cocaine.”

He was arrested and charged with third-degree possession of a controlled dangerous substance, possession of drug paraphernalia and being under the influence. A conviction carries a maximum of five years imprisonment.
