Former L.A. Dodgers Outfielder Milton Bradley Arrested in Encino

Former Dodgers outfielder Milton Bradley was arrested in Encino Tuesday on suspicion of making threats against a woman, police said.

Bradley, who now plays for the Seattle Mariners, was arrested at 10:40 a.m. at a home in the 5300 block of Oak Park Avenue, shortly after the Los Angeles Police Department's West Valley Station reportedly received a call from a woman saying he had threatened her. 

Bradley's $50,000 bail was posted and he was released from the Van Nuys jail around 6 p.m., said LAPD Officer Gregory Baek.

The LAPD told Encino Patch that details about the identity of the woman or of the threats allegedly made against her would not be released.

“While we do not yet have full details on what occurred, we are aware of the situation and take it very seriously,'' said Mariners General Manager Jack Zduriencik in a statement. “We are in the process of determining the full circumstances of what occurred today. Until we have more information, we will not be able to comment further.''

Bradley, 32, has been involved in several incidents throughout his Major League career.

He was traded to the Dodgers in 2004 after an altercation with Cleveland Indians Manager Eric Wedge during spring training. Also in 2004, Bradley drew a four-game suspension and was ordered to undergo anger management counseling.

In August 2005, the Daily Breeze reported that police responded to Bradley's Redondo Beach home three times on domestic violence calls.

Bradley also volunteered to take a two-week leave from the Mariners last May and asked for help with a personal problem.
