Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Julio Urias was arrested for felony domestic violence on Sunday night, and some new details from the alleged incident have emerged.
Urias was taken into custody at around 11 p.m. and booked at an LAPD jail two hours later on felony domestic violence charges. According to TMZ, the arrest came after a witness said Urias and a woman were in a crowd and Urias got physical with the alleged victim.
Urias was supposed to attend the LAFC-Inter Miami match featuring Lionel Messi on Sunday night. It is unclear if the alleged incident involving him took place at BMO Stadium, where the soccer match was played.
Urias posted $50,000 bond and was released on Monday morning. He has a court date scheduled for later this month.
The Dodgers released a statement on Monday saying they are aware of the situation involving Urias and that the left-hander will not travel with the team until more facts are uncovered.
Urias, 27, was arrested for misdemeanor domestic battery in May 2019. He faced allegations of shoving a women he was with at a mall in Beverly Hills. The woman later told investigators she fell, and the charges were dropped. Urias was still suspended 20 games by Major League Baseball under the league’s domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse policy.
