According to TMZ (I love how they have become a credible news source), Los Angeles Dodger first baseman James Loney was arrested while being hospitalized in L.A. last month after allegedly smashing his Maserati into three other cars. And it gets better. Loney then spit at a cop.

Loney was arrested on November 14th because cops say he appeared to be under the influence of drugs after he swerved into a Toyota around 6pm and then careened into a Mercedes and a Mini.

According to the report, when cops first arrived to the scene, Loney told one of the officers, “The bitch hit me from behind.” Loney was handcuffed and transported to a nearby hospital where an officer attempted to give him a breathalyzer test.

But according to the report, Loney was “uncooperative” biting off the mouthpiece and spitting it back at the cop.

Well there you go.

Here is what I am wondering; Does this change the fact that just a couple of weeks ago, Dodger GM Ned Colleti said that Loney was going to be his first baseman in 2012? I think it’s a fair question and a question that will be answered as more facts come out about this incident.
