It’s been a long time since anyone has thought about Albert Belle and, sadly, that all changed Sunday night.
According to reports, the embattled slugger was arrested outside Phoenix Rising Stadium and charged with two counts of indecent exposure, one count of DUI and one count of extreme DUI.
BREAKING: Albert Belle arrested in Scottsdale during a spring training game.

Sadly, this isn’t the first time Belle has found himself on the wrong side of the law.
While with the Cleveland Indians, the five-time All-Star chased a bunch of kids in his SUV after they egged his house. He’d end up being convicted of reckless operation of a motor vehicle and fined following the Halloween 1995 incident. In 2006, Belle pleaded guilty to stalking a former girlfriend. He was sentenced to 90 days in jail and five years supervised probation.
Belle had seemingly gotten his life together since his retirement following the 2000 season. He and his wife currently reside in Scottsdale, where they are raising their three daughters.
***UPDATE***
This story is not getting better.
