"Former major league outfielder Carl Everett is in a Tampa jail on charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and tampering with a witness. Jail records indicate the 39-year-old Everett was arrested Monday night at his suburban Tampa home. He was booked into the Hillsborough County Jail shortly after midnight and is being held without bond. Details of the arrest were not immediately available. Everett's attorney, Clinton Paris, did not immediately return a call for comment (ESPN)."
I was just thinking the other day, "I wonder what Carl Everett is up to these days", and this is probably the least shocking news. Carl Everett really should be in a insane asylum. Let's just quickly go over this guy's questionable moments...
- Headbutting an ump
- Shouting match with Seattle manager Mike Hargrove
- Saying he would retire if he found out a teammate of his was gay.
- Questioning the Apollo Moon Landing.
And my person favorite...
- Carl Everett's denial of the existence of dinosaurs. "God created the sun, the stars, the heavens and the earth, and then made Adam and Eve. The Bible never says anything about dinosaurs. You can't say there were dinosaurs when you never saw them. Somebody actually saw Adam and Eve. No one ever saw a Tyrannosaurus rex." He also derided fossils of dinosaur bones as man-made fakes (wiki)."
Yea, he's a pretty crazy guy, so to find out that he is out beating people up is really not all that shocking. At least we can say he was entertaining.
***UPDATE***
"The report states that the argument between the former big leaguer and Linda Everett escalated when he pointed a silver handgun at her head. When she attempted to call 911 on two different occasions, with two different phones, Everett broke both calling devices. The couple has been married for 18 years (WEEI)."
Sounds about right.
