L.A. Times:  Dodgers’ Ronald Belisario arrested early Saturday

Officers stopped Belisario at 2:27 a.m. on Fair Oaks Avenue south of Colorado Boulevard after observing him talking on his cellphone, according to CHP officer Francisco Villalobos. Officers then observed symptoms of possible alcohol intoxication and placed Belisario under arrest.

Belisario said he was coming home from dinner when he was pulled over and dismissed the incident as “nothing.”

“I was driving to my apartment, talking on the telephone and they stopped me,” Belisario said in Spanish. “Then they gave me the alcohol test and it was normal. They gave me a paper, said everything was normal. . . . Everything’s fine.”

Belisario did not specify what kind of sobriety test was administered and Villalobos said he did not have that information. General Manager Ned Colletti said he was unaware of the arrest.

Hopefully, its turns into nothing. Because Belisario has a reputation as a knucklehead, the Dodgers told him he has less leeway than other people on the team.

He was either out too late, or out too early.

They should test him for steroids while they're at it.

The stunning thing here is stopping him for driving while phoning. When this law took effect at the start of the year, people driving and celling disappeared overnight. But, in the last couple of months, its a common thing to see again. Like Arnold repealed the law to save the budget or something.
