The Los Angeles Dodgers are in the news for all the wrong reasons after pitcher Julio Urías was arrested on a felony charge of domestic violence. The incident occurred on Monday, May 13th in Los Angeles, California.
Urías, 23, was taken into custody by the Los Angeles Police Department after a woman reported that he had physically assaulted her. The woman, who has not been identified, was taken to a hospital for treatment of her injuries.
The Dodgers released a statement saying they were aware of the incident and were cooperating with the police investigation. They also said they take domestic violence very seriously and that Urías had been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation.
The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office will decide whether to file charges against Urías. If convicted, he could face up to four years in prison.
Domestic violence is a serious issue that affects millions of people in the United States. It is important to remember that everyone has the right to be safe and free from violence in their relationships. If you or someone you know is a victim of domestic violence, there are resources available to help.
The Dodgers are hoping that this incident will be resolved quickly and that justice will be served. In the meantime, they will continue to support Urías and his family during this difficult time.
