Marlins LHP Olsen arrested

Jul 21, 2007 - 5:57 PM MIAMI (Ticker) -- Scott Olsen has found another kind of trouble.

The Florida Marlins lefthander was arrested early Saturday after refusing to pull over during a traffic stop.

Olsen, 23, was charged with driving under the influence, resisting arrest with violence and fleeing after eluding a police officer.

The arrest came hours after Olsen made his return from a two-game, team-imposed suspension for conduct detrimental to the team. He worked seven strong innings Friday night against the Cincinnati Reds, improving to 8-7 with a 4.99 ERA on the season.

According to police, an officer who was running a radar check in the area of 191st Street clocked Olsen speeding after 3 a.m. Olsen refused to pull over until he reached his home in Aventura, police said.

Once home, Olsen began fighting with officers and refused to take a breathalyzer.

Getting in trouble is becoming routine for Olsen. Last year, he was involved in an altercation with former Marlin Randy Messenger and received a black eye.

In June of this season, Olsen made an obscene gesture to fans in Milwaukee after being removed from the game and was fined an undisclosed amount.
