Dodgers' Yasiel Puig arrested on suspicion of going 110 mph in Florida
You warn, you educate, you hold their hand, but sometimes kids just do not learn.
And now there is more concern that the uber talented Yasiel Puig might be one of those kids.
The Dodgers' dynamic young outfielder was arrested for reckless driving Saturday morning after he was caught speeding at 110 mph in a 70-mph zone on a stretch of Interstate 75 in Florida, according to Florida Highway Patrol spokesman Lt. Greg Bueno.
Bueno said Puig was taken in handcuffs to the Collier County Jail in Naples, Fla., after being pulled over at 9:30 a.m. Eastern time while driving his 2013 Mercedes westbound on what locals call Alligator Alley. Bueno said Puig cooperated with officers.
The Dodgers currently are not commenting, but have to be concerned beyond just simply this lone arrest.
Puig, 23, was also arrested for speeding, reckless driving and driving without proof of insurance last April in Chattanooga, Tenn. Those charges were dropped after he convinced a judge he had performed community service in Los Angeles.
Still, this is twice Puig has been arrested for speeding in the last eight months. This is the same guy who has shown a knack for repeating violations of simple baseball fundamentals, which is troubling for the team but as least does not put anyone's life in danger.
The idea, of course, is to learn from mistakes. That's what we always tell the kids, anyway.
