Milton Bradley Arrested For Something

PrintRight now, courtesy of KING 5 Sports, this is all we have to go on:
KING5Seattle has learned #Mariners outfielder Milton Bradley has been arrested on a felony in Los Angeles County.
We have no idea what Bradley has been accused of, nor do we have any idea whether he's innocent or guilty. What we do know is that people don't get arrested for staying home and ordering a delicious stuffed crust pizza, so we can say with a high degree of certainty that Milton Bradley has not been arrested for staying home and ordering a delicious stuffed crust pizza.
Since the offseason started taking shape, we've figured that Bradley was probably out of a job, and no matter what's going on, this isn't going to help him stick around. In other words, welcome back, Ryan Langerhans.
-----
Update, via Geoff Baker:
LAPD confirms Milton Bradley arrested for violating California penal code section 422. Involves making "criminal threat". No other details.
Here's some information on California penal code section 422. Hopefully the M's just cut Bradley tomorrow so I don't have to bother following this story.
-----
Update #2: I have no idea if the M's will be able to void the rest of Bradley's contract because of this. Keep in mind, though, that the Mets were not able to void Francisco Rodriguez's contract after he beat the crap out of his girlfriend's dad. So I'd say we're probably stuck.
-----
Update #3: again from Baker, we learn that Bradley was arrested at 10:40am for making a threat to an unidentified woman, and was later released on bail. Sports!

If you want cheese, order more of it as a topping.
The crust is good because it is tasty bread. There’s no reason to change something that doesn’t need to be changed.

They used to offer breadstick-as-crust pizza, and that was tremendous.
Otherwise, I agree entirely with your statement.
I just got back from a trip to asia
Pizza Hut there sells a pizza with cheese and something looking like hot dog in the crust.
If you have a problem with cheese then you are gonna have major issues with this. I think they just combined pizzaa and pigs-in-a-blanket which is fine with me.

It scared me a little and I didn't give it a try
When I saw it, it has scallops and pineapple on it so that was an overall combo I wasn’t gonna do.

Fransisco Rodriguez was just staying home ordering delicious Stuff Crust Pizza until his father in law said this sentence.

Silver lining?
We’re still awaiting more details, but one would think this would finally be enough to void the rest of his contract. The troubled Bradley is still owed $12 million for the 2011 season.
http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/41145169/ns/sports-player_news/
With most of the market dry, I can't imagine the Mariners doing much with that $12M.
On the other hand, we could sign Thome, Branyan and Vlad!
If he still gets the remainder of his contract after this the rules need to change.
Please let it be that the M’s are in the $$$ as a result of this. You idiot Bradley….
Based on certain game threads I think we are all guilty of violating California penal code section 422

Maybe Milton Bradley was calling Pizza Hut demanding Delicious Stuffed Crust Pizza
but when informed that they only make disgusting stuffed crust pizza, Milton Bradley got upset

I think the threat he made was when he answered the door and the pizza man was wearing a "Fuck Milton Bradley" t-shirt.

If he wasn't in jail, how else would he be unavailable?
Not sure I get the distinction he’s trying to make.
Just when I thought the Mariners were going to have a boring offseason...

If the contract is voided
Does that mean that we can use that $12 million to sign someone or use in a trade immediately?

We don't know
but hypothetically most likely
That sounds like a bullshit charge

You had my hopes up so high.
Until it said released from jail.

Maybe he threatened the pizza delivery kid?

Arrest details
here.
And if there’s a mugshot it instantly becomes the facebook profile picture of every Cubs fan I know.
There was so much humor we missed there.
Shame he probably won’t be sticking around.
I'm sure he has a middle finger for every time someone asks him about his middle name.

Obviously, the bleachers in left field are far higher up than I realized.
~Garrett Olson is my secret boyfriend~
I wonder if that's just a number that they give when the person posts bail?
It seems like I’ve seen that before, and it might just be a placeholder…

Uh oh, this can't be good news
Milton Bradley was arrested at home at 10:40 a.m. He was later released on $50,000 bail. Said to have made threat vs. unidentified female.
Via Baker.
For comparison's sake, F-Rod's bail was $7500
So it seems maybe kind of serious, but those bails were for different states so who the hell knows.
It sounded like a lot, so I checked out a bail site, its as much or more than various levels of assault or manslaughter.
Caveat being that it wasn’t state specific, just a rule of thumb type listing. So it sounds pretty serious.
by Patrick Stites on Jan 18, 2011 10:45 PM PST up reply actions
Bond amount is typically 10% of the Bail amount.
If you are out on Bond, that means you have paid the 10% and have someone (normally a Bail Bondsman company) who is willing to foot the rest of the bill. If and when you show up to court on time, the bond company gets their money back less fees and stuff. If you skip out and don’t show up, that’s when they send Dog the Bounty Hunter after you.
The amount actually sounds like Milton paid for his entire Bail and will not have to report to a bail bonds company before his trial. It sounds like F-Rod went the other route.
It’s a lot if he paid that much just so he wouldn’t have to report to a bondsman every week, but he has it to spend.

His court date is Feb 8th, Just before spring training.
I am hoping a decision is made sooner than that.
If he's released prior to charges, can they still petition to void his contract later on?
I’m not sure how it works, and it’s probably premature to even speculate.
Yeah, how has everyone missed this?

Sounds familiar.

That this is a felony is arguably ridiculous. People say stupid shit when they get angry. Makes me wonder if the WWE has to change it’s scripting everytime thye do a show in Los Angeles.

When I get mad I don't make threats on people's lives, or their kids' lives.
And if I did make such threats, I also wouldn’t accompany them with a text messaged picture of a gun.

Bleh.
There are Monopoly and Risk puns I could make right now, but I really don’t want to.
Yeah, the jokes are old, but I had this one around.
...and now I'm here
Assuming that maybe this is the last straw
Its too bad this didn’t happen in like…. November. We could have made Cliff Lee an offer he couldn’t refuse… 12 million for Spring Training.
When I am sleeping and someone wakes me up at 10.40 in the morning...
BItch better have my coffee.
Is Milton Bradley gonna have to choke a bitch?

Well, at least something interesting finally happened this offseason for the M's.
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
Got him all ready for jail.
Dustin Ackley is going to make Joe Morgan look like Joey Cora.
AL Scout on Rendon: "I would peg him as a poor man's Jose Lopez."
It would be fantastic if we could continue just making jokes about the matter.
And avoided any condemnation until a plea or verdict is rendered.
Just as a heads up because speculation is easy.

Also, he's always been a total dick.
I don’t see why anyone really cares about this more than anything else he’s ever done. As soon as I saw the news broke my first thought was “Dammit, now everyone on the other sites is going to claim they’re right again, and just like last time they’ll all completely miss the point.”
...and now I'm here
It's LL. We make jokes about everything, and hardLLy ever seriousLLy.
I’m hoping the team doesn’t make any rash decisions based off of accusations, but we definitely should! WEeeeeeeeee!

Yes,
I wasn’t being sarcastic and I’m pretty up to spec on LL

Oh. You must be new here, because I clearly used "LL" in my spellings, which indicated my seriousness.
