Former Atlanta Braves star centre fielder Andruw Jones was free on bond after being arrested in suburban Atlanta early Tuesday on a battery charge, according to jail records.
Around 1.30am Tuesday, police responded to a call for a domestic dispute between Jones and his wife in Duluth.
Gwinnett County Detention Centre records say Jones was booked into the jail around 3.45am and was released on $2,400 bond by 11am.
Once one of the premier players in the big leagues, Jones broke into the majors with the Atlanta Braves in 1996 and won 10 consecutive Gold Gloves from 1998-07 as their centre fielder. He has 434 career home runs over the span of 17 seasons in the majors. Jones earlier this month signed a $3.5m, one-year contract with the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles of Japan's Pacific League.
