Royals utility player arrested for DUI
A Kansas City Royals infielder spent more than seven hours in jail today after he was arrested for driving under the influence.
Campus police for the University of Missouri-Kansas City stopped Alberto J. Callaspo, 25, about 3 a.m. after he allegedly ran a red light near E. 48th and Oak streets, just north of the campus. The officer booked Callaspo into the jail at Kansas City police headquarters downtown about 4:30 a.m.
Callaspo appeared before a municipal judge via video camera about 10:10 a.m., and the judge granted him a signature bond. He was released just before noon.
Additional details about the arrest were not available because the UMKC police report was not completed.
The Royals obtained Callaspo last winter from the Diamondbacks in exchange for pitcher Billy Buckner. The Royals website said he has filled in at second base and shortstop and has a batting average of .290.
Meanwhile, there are 90-mph winds outside. Better shut down the computer and hide for a bit! Wish me luck!
