Tom Browning, a former All-Star pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds, was arrested over the weekend in Ohio after crashing his car into a house.
Browning, 62, was charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated.
Fox 19 in Ohio reports that police in Georgetown, a town about an hour southeast of Cincinnati, said Browning crashed into a light pole, a tree and finally a house after he lost control of his vehicle. The incident reportedly occurred at about 11:30 pm on Saturday night.
No one in the home was injured in the crash.
