Why was Marcell Ozuna arrested?
Braves left fielder Marcell Ozuna was arrested early Friday morning for driving under the influence in Gwinnett County, Ga., per CBS46 News in Atlanta.

According to Jeff Schultz of The Athletic, “The Atlanta Braves are aware of Marcell Ozuna’s arrest this morning and are presently gathering all the facts relevant to the event,” the team said in a statement on Friday.
We take these issues extremely seriously at our business, and we are certainly dismayed about the current state of affairs. We won’t have any other comments because this is a legal matter until the case is over.
