Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco was involved in an armed altercation in a parking lot in the Dominican Republic countryside and was arrested, police said Monday.
Meregirdo Espinosa, a Dominican police spokesman, told The Associated Press it happened in San Juan de la Maguana, a city that is 116 miles (187 kilometers) west of the Dominican Republic's capital of Santo Domingo. Franco was arrested Sunday. Another man and a woman were also detained, police said.
Espinosa didn't specify who, but said some men in the altercation were carrying firearms.
