DUI from ’99 snags Alex Cora

Red Sox infielder Alex Cora turned himself into the Martin County (Florida) jail on Wednesday on a probation violation charge related to a 1999 DUI case.

According to a source close to Cora, the 32-year-old believed that the matter, which occurred when he was with the Dodgers, had been fully resolved no later than 2000. In the process of completing a legal transaction in Florida earlier this week, Cora’s name popped up on a computer, and he discovered that it was not settled.

Cora reported to the jail, posted a $20,000 bond and was immediately released. The source said the infielder expects the issue to be cleared up by next week.
