ELIZABETH, N.J. (CBS/AP) — A judge has dropped drug and terroristic threat charges filed against former Major League baseball player Lenny Dykstra after an altercation with an Uber driver. A judge dismissed the charges Friday after Dykstra pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct and was fined $125.
Dykstra said he is “happy this chapter of my life is behind me.”
The three-time All-Star, who played parts of eight seasons with the Phillies and was a member of the Mets’ 1986 championship team, said the driver tried to kidnap him in May 2018 in Linden after he asked to change the trip’s destination.
