Yankees Minor League ball player arrested in Tampa

Krum = Crum = Denny = Cardinals = Arrested. That’s more like it!

A Minor League baseball player for the New York Yankees was arrested after refusing to leave a restaurant/bar even after being told he was no longer welcome there.

Tampa Police say bouncers kicked out 22-year-old Austin Michael Krum from Tia’s Tex Mex Restaurant/Bar after trying to start a fight inside. Uniformed officers on scene told Krum several times that he would have to leave, but Krum refused to do so.

Officers say that he returned to the restaurant even after being escorted off the property, so they decided to arrest him for trespassing. Krum allegedly tried to resist the arrest and officers had to physically take him to the ground to handcuff him.

Krum was charged with Trespass After Warning and Resist Officer Without Violence. No one was injured in the incident.

Krum was drafted by New York in 2007 and currently plays outfield for the Staten Island Yankees.

He was a 9th round pick. He needs to wake up.

"Tampa Police say bouncers kicked out 22-year-old Austin Michael Krum from Tia’s Tex Mex Restaurant/Bar after trying to start a fight inside."

If the bouncers were the ones trying to start a fight, why was Krum kicked out?

Not a single quidditch joke?

True Yankee.

He was a 9th round pick. He needs to wake up.

If I'm thinking of the right guy, he fell to the 9th round because of personality issues, too.

Maybe he and Milton Bradley should have a chat.

They could do lunch. Mexican, maybe?

Tampa Police are currently shooting COPS athlete special, me thinks.
