LINDEN, N.J. (CBS) — Former Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Lenny Dykstra was arrested in New Jersey early Wednesday morning for allegedly threatening an Uber driver.
Linden police say the 47-year-old Uber driver pulled up outside police headquarters, beeping his horn repeatedly around 3:30 a.m.
The driver told police that after he picked Dykstra up, the former All-Star tried to change his destination, but he refused to take him where he wanted to go.
The driver claims Dykstra then put a weapon to his head and threatened to kill him.
Police say they did not find a weapon, but they did recover cocaine, MDMA and marijuana from Dykstra.
