Mug Shot of the Day: Manny Ramirez, who retired from major league baseball in April after testing positive for a banned substance, was arrested Monday at his Weston, Florida home, and charged with one count of domestic violence battery.
According to a Broward Sheriff’s Office arrest affidavit [pdf], Ramirez’s wife Juliana told an officer that the two were fighting in the master bedroom when Ramirez “struck her in the left side of her face causing her to hit her head against the headboard of the bed.”
Ramirez told the officer that he did not strike his wife, but rather grabbed her by the shoulders and “shrugged her,” causing her to hit her head.
Police noted that Mrs. Ramirez had red swelling where she had allegedly been slapped, as well as a small contusion on the back of her head. The affidavit also notes that the couple “refused to cooperate and give a taped statement.”
Ramirez was booked into Broward County jail.
