Johnny Damons DUI arrest video released by cops, ex-Yankee says he is targeted for being Trump supporterTalk about a wild night.
The body camera footage of exactly what went down when Johnny Damon was pulled over and eventually arrested by Windermere police was released Tuesday.
The former Yankees and Red Sox star was pulled over and arrested outside of his Orlando-area gated community on Feb. 19. He was charged with a DUI after registering between a .294 and .30 blood alcohol level, the Orlando Sentinel reported citing the police report. That is nearly four times the legal limit in Florida.
The video shows cops pulling over Damon and his wife who were both uncooperative with authorities from the start, with the two-time World Series champ appearing confused as to why he had been stopped.
Do you see the police lights? the cop asked after he asked the couple why they were getting out of the car.

No, you were targeted because you were drunk. Perhaps the couple can share mugshots for their next wedding anniversary?

Granted he was HAMMERED but he really wasnt staggering much.
His wife and he exhibited some serious privilege getting out of the car. Even I know to stay in the car and make my hands visible.

These people have is mind blowing.
It couldnt possible be his fault for driving drunk. It must be the cops for targeting him because of politics.
What the actual f***.
I used to like him when he played for the As.

if Damon doesn't sign a plea bargain.

I still laugh thinking about this quote about him
Johnny Damon, looks like Jesus, throws like Mary, acts like Judas. Still holds up.
