Former Met and Yankee Dwight Gooden was arrested yesterday for DWI after rear-ending a car. Apparently, he had a child in the car as well. Gooden was charged with being “Under the Influence of a Controlled Dangerous Substance, Endangering the Welfare of a Child, Driving While Under the Influence of Drugs, DWI with a Child Passenger, Leaving the Scene of a Motor Vehicle Accident, Reckless Driving, Failure to Keep Right and Failure to Notify Change of Address regarding driver's license” after getting into an accident at 8:50 a.m. yesterday.

Gooden was released after being charged and has not issued a statement. It’s just another sad turn in the former star's life. He had recently moved back to New Jersey to take a job with the Newark Bears and told the Star-Ledger, “I’ve got both feet on the ground now.”
