WINDERMERE, Fla. – Johnny Damon, a retired Major League Baseball player and Orlando native, bonded out of jail Friday afternoon after he and his wife were accused of struggling with an officer during a DUI traffic stop in Windermere.
As the former pro-athlete was released, an unidentified man encouraged Damon to not talk with the media; however, he did speak briefly.
So, I apologize and hopefully, I can answer more questions later on.”When asked about his wife’s arrest, Damon was more evasive.
His wife, 45-year-old Michelle Mangan-Damon, is facing charges of battery on a law enforcement officer and resisting an officer with violence.
Damon and Mangan-Damon both got out of the SUV as the officer approached, despite his commands to stay in the vehicle, according to the affidavit.
