Lenny Dykstra indicted for drugs, threats following arrest in May

ELIZABETH, N.J. — A grand jury in New Jersey has indicted former Phillies star Lenny Dykstra on drug and other charges.

The indictment handed up Tuesday stems from an altercation in May between Dykstra and an Uber driver. Dykstra faces charges of each of cocaine and methamphetamine possession, as well as making terroristic threats.

Dykstra faces an arraignment on a date to be determined. An attorney for Dykstra didn't immediately return a phone message Wednesday.

Dykstra was arrested after allegedly threatening to kill the driver. He was found with drugs when the Uber driver pulled up in front of police headquarters in Linden, N.
