The much troubled Mets start pitcher from the 80’s is back on the police blotter after years of self-proclaimed sobriety and this one’s bad.  I tell you when he does it, he does it.

He got into an accident this morning in New Jersey and fled the scene.  After being tracked down by police, they realized he was high on something and his 5-year-old son was in the car.  When it was all said and done he has a laundry list of charges: driving while under the influence of drugs, endangering the welfare of a child, leaving the scene, reckless driving and DWI with a child passenger.

You hate to see this happen just when you think he’s gotten his life turned around.  Of course, this isn’t the first time he has run from the cops.

Just another case in the long line of unbelievably stupid DWI’s.  These guys would have loved to have saved his ass.

Al Jefferson was the leading scorer last night  for the Wolves, who was pulled over for going 56 mph in a 40, drifting left and not using his turn signal to switch lanes.

State Patrol Lt. Eric Roeske said a field sobriety test led to Jefferson’s arrest.  One can only guess that means he failed it.   

A blood test was administered and the results are pending a Bureau of Criminal Apprehension analysis.
