Scott Spiezio cut by Cardinals


Scott Spiezio had a warrant issued for his arrest on Tuesday, stemming from a 6-count complaint involving drunken driving and assault in a December car crash back in Southern California.


The Cardinals got wind of this and reacted, cutting the former Angel.


“We had heard some things about this,” Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak said. “Ultimately nothing was ever confirmed to the level it was today. To have this warrant put out there, it completely changes the landscape of what we’re dealing with.”


The Orange County district attorney charged Spiezio with misdemeanor counts of driving under the influence, driving under the influence with a blood alcohol content of .08 percent or more, hit and run, aggravated assault, assault and battery.
