Mets GM Zack Scott busted for drunk driving in White Plains
It's another thumbs-down for the Mets.
Acting General Manager Zack Scott is facing driving while intoxicated charges
after he was busted dozing in his car in White Plains, The Post has learned.
Scott, 44, was nabbed at 4:17 a.m. Tuesday when cops caught him snoozing in a
2018 Toyota on South Lexington Avenue near the federal courthouse, White
Plains Police Capt. James Spencer said Wednesday.
The embattled GM refused to give blood or submit to a breathalyzer but
underwent a field sobriety test and failed, Spencer said.
He was charged and released and is due back in White Plains City Court on
Thursday.
Scott's arrest is the latest hit for the Metropolitans, who have been
struggling on the field and reeling from a series of controversies off the
diamond in recent months.
"We were surprised and deeply disappointed to learn this morning about an
alleged DUI involving Zack Scott," the Met said in a statement. "We take
this matter very seriously. Zack will not be traveling with the team for our
upcoming road trip while we learn more and determine next steps."
