Danny Duffy, the Royals pitcher, was charged with DUI on Sunday.
The Overland Park municipal court records show that Duffy was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol at about 7:35pm.
He was sleeping with the engine of the vehicle turned on in the drive-through at a Burger King and his foot was on the brake when one of the employees saw him and called the cops. On hearing sirens of the police patrol, he immediately jumped in the passenger seat and tried to force a customer to sit in the driver’s seat to show that he was not behind the wheel. However, he failed to show what he wanted.
The team to which Duffy belongs lost a match earlier that day. Duffy is currently on the disabled list with what has been diagnosed with a low-grade pronator strain in his elbow.
He is summoned to court on the 19th of September at 1:00pm.
