An officer spotted a vehicle swerved on the road around 1:30 p.m. After following the car for a few blocks, the officer observed the driver, who was later identified as Damon, repeatedly “driving back and forth” outside his lane and at one point a curb before almost ‘too’ a handrail hits.
Damon was pulled over and according to the arresting officer he was observed ‘extremely unsteady on his feet’ and he slandered his speech. The officer also detected ‘the smell of alcoholic impurities’.
The former Red Sox star said the officer had to drink ‘just a little’, but the report indicated that Damon had a blood alcohol level of more than or equal to 0.20 – more than twice the legal limit.

Further police details revealed that he was tested twice while in custody, once at 03:26 and again a few minutes later. He registered a blood alcohol level of .300 and .294 respectively – almost four times the legal limit almost two hours after the initial stop.
Damon was booked and his wife, Michelle Mangan-Damon, was also arrested and charged with a police officer for violently resisting an officer.
According to the arrest report, she repeatedly disobeyed the officer’s order to stay in the vehicle. The officer tried to restrain her as she pulled away and pushed him. His worn body comb was knocked down as a result of the fight.

TMZ Sports reported the first time Damon was arrested. It was not immediately clear if he was still in police custody Friday afternoon.
