Former Major League slugger Delmon Young has been arrested for domestic violence after his ex-girlfriend called 911 to claim that the retired ballplayer was 'trying to kill' her.
Young, a 35-year-old former outfielder, was arrested Monday after allegedly punching his ex-girlfriend and shoving her to the ground, according to Broward County (Florida) police records provided to DailyMail.com.
While Young also called 911 that night, accusing his ex-girlfriend of trying to hit him, footage of the incident recorded by a doorbell camera and provided to police showed the roughly 280-pound former athlete punching or shoving the woman, who is said to have cried out in pain.
The woman, whose name is redacted in the complaint affidavit, allegedly suffered an injury to her right leg, which was noticeably bleeding, according to police.
Young was charged with four counts, including battery domestic and tampering with a witness. The Broward County jail no longer has any listing for Young as a current inmate. It is unclear at this time if he has an attorney.
A pair of 911 calls from Young and the woman were obtained by TMZ.
In her call, the woman claims that Young was 'trying to kill' her and also broke her television and a video game console.
A man, alleged to be Young, can be heard in the background demanding: 'Give me my computer!'
At one point the woman claims that Young has weapons, to which he is heard saying in the background: 'I don't have anything.'
She said he hit her with broom or a mop, adding that 'it's dented and everything so you can see he hit me with it.'
The 911 operator asked the woman to separate herself from Young, but the woman declined saying she wanted to protect her possessions from the intruder, believed to be Young.
'No, because he does not live here, and he's trying to take things that are mine,' she said. 'And he's saying, ''Call the police, I'm a baseball player, they're going to believe me over you.''
'This is bulls*** because this is my apartment in my name.'
It was at this point that the woman announced 'the police are here' and got off the phone.
Young's 911 call began with him saying his girlfriend was 'going crazy' and 'destroying all my s***.'
In the background, she can be heard yelling about being hit. Young then tells the operator, 'I'm nowhere near her.'
'She went crazy,' he said. 'She's drunk.'
He then told the operator that his girlfriend is trying to break his possessions, including his computer.
