Ex-MLB All-Star Furcal accused of throwing deadly missile into vehicle

Former Major League Baseball infielder Rafael Furcal was arrested by Florida authorities and charged with two felonies, including for throwing a deadly missile into an occupied vehicle.

The three-time All-Star was booked into jail at the Broward County Jail in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on Wednesday and surrendered without incident, according to jail records obtained by USA TODAY Sports. Furcal is also facing a felony charge of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.

While details of the incident were not immediately available, Furcal, speaking from his home, told reporter Tenchy Rodriguez that the object he used was a rock – but that he had been attacked with a knife.

Furcal played 14 seasons in the majors with the Atlanta Braves, Los Angeles Dodgers, St. Louis Cardinals, and Miami Marlins.

He won the National League Rookie of the Year award with Atlanta in 2000 and was on the roster for the Cardinals when they won a World Series in 2011. Furcal was arrested in 2000 and 2004 while playing for the Braves for drunk driving, spending 21 days in jail after the latter for violating his probation.
