Aaron Judge’s year has gone from bad to worse.
The New York Yankees star right fielder was diagnosed with a broken rib and a collapsed lung at spring training, leaving him on the sidelines while the coronavirus pandemic has put the baseball season on hold.
And now, news this week of the “extreme DUI” arrest of the Yankees slugger’s girlfriend in Arizona has compounded his headaches.
“Do you know who my boyfriend is?” Samantha Bracksieck asks officers
in video footage obtained by TMZ
. “This is going to be bad for me. I’m just saying that right now.”
Bracksieck, 26, was stopped by Scottsdale police for going 10 miles per hour over the speed limit with her headlights off while failing to maintain her lane on the night of Feb. 25.
Cops then noticed Bracksieck appeared intoxicated and gave her a breathalyzer test. She initially blew .125, then later blew .169 and .181 at the police station.
“He’s a public figure,” she tells officers. “So, like, me being arrested for, like, having two glasses of wine is not OK.”
Cops assure her that she is not a bad person.
“I know I’m not a bad person. You don’t understand. You don’t know who my boyfriend is. This is going to be so bad.”
Later, Bracksieck tells officers her boyfriend is in the New York media spotlight.
She finally informs the cops that her boyfriend “plays baseball for the Yankees” before telling them it is Judge.
