Drunk Baseball Star Told Arresting Officers, "Shoot Me, Kill Me."

After giving a Florida cop the middle finger, baseball star Miguel Cabrera shouted at police, “Fucking shoot me, kill me” when ordered to drop to his knees so that officers could handcuff him, according to a sheriff’s report.

The 27-year-old athlete, busted last month in Fort Pierce for drunk driving, also stated, “Fuck you. Do you know who I am? I’m Miguel Cabrera, I play for the Detroit Tigers, you don’t know my family.”

A second document--a statement given to cops by bar manager Fletcher Nail--recounts an incident shortly before Cabrera was arrested at the wheel of his Range Rover. Nail recalled that Cabrera arrived after last call and refused to leave Cowboys Bar-B-Q & Steak Co.

Nail said that Cabrera “leaned down close to my face” and said, “I will kill you.” Nail added that the ballplayer looked around the bar and added, “I know all of you, and I will kill all of you and blow this place up.” Another witness, a Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission agent, told investigators that Cabrera threatened him and Nail “by saying he had a gun in his bag for us.”

The investigative reports were included in documents released today by prosecutors in response to an open records request. Cabrera, who has previously acknowledged abusing alcohol, was busted for DUI, resisting arrest, and having an open container of alcohol in his car.

He is not a Hispanic American, this young rich wealthy talented player was born Venezuela and is a citizen of Venezuela....he may have a visa or green card just to play ball here, brings smiles to your loving republican faces and to make mounds of money.......only in America
Just another dirty ungrateful ***. America must love dirty ungrateful ***. They are paying him. Wouldn't it be great if everyone with a brain in this once great country just woke the f up one day?

What's wrong with these young athletes is that they earn their millions too early and don't fully appreciate their fortune like other people do who have worked their way to the top for years to earn money like that. Cabrera is a punk....oops, am I going to be accused of being a racist because I dared call a Hispanic a punk? I don't care if he's as white as Johnny and Edgar Winter's asses......he's still an ungrateful punk who doesn't appreciate American opportunity.
Sounds like Florida Fish and Wildlife should have shot him with a colorful fuzzy tranquilizer dart and returned him peaceably to the Tigers.
