WINDERMERE, Fla. —
Former Major League Baseball player Johnny Damon and his wife were both arrested early Friday in Windermere after a traffic stop.
Damon was charged with driving under the influence and resisting an officer without violence, Orange County Jail records show.
Damon’s wife, Michelle Mangan-Damon, was arrested as well and charged with resisting an officer with violence and battery of a law enforcement officer.
Damon was pulled over around 1:30 a.m. by Windermere police near an entrance to the Isleworth community after an officer said he was seen swerving on Conroy Windermere Road, before striking a curb and a guardrail.
In an arrest report, the officer wrote that Damon was asked how much he’d been drinking and said “just a little bit,” while making a small pinching motion with his fingers.
The arrest report said Damon was “extremely unsteady on his feet” and his speech was “extremely slurred.”
While police were speaking with Damon, they said his wife got out of the car, despite officers' orders to stay inside. When the officer tried to push her against the car Mangan-Damon turned around and pushed the officer. As she did this, police said Damon stepped between them and a fight ensued.
During the struggle, Mangan-Damon broke away and walked toward the community guardhouse near where the stop occurred. A second officer on the scene took her into custody.
The report said the officer then asked Damon if he would perform a field sobriety test, to which Damon said multiple times that he would because he is “a big boy.”
Police said that after Damon had been arrested he consented to taking a breathalyzer test. The first time he blew a .300, and the second time he blew a .294. That is nearly four times the legal limit in the state of Florida.
Damon was a baseball standout at Dr. Phillips High School in Orlando and went on to play in the major leagues for seven different teams. He was a key member of the 2004 Boston Red Sox World Series championship team.

Good that OPD treated them like anyone else.
Yep Johnny it’s supposed to be.
Excuse me. Seems that Windermere DOES have a PD. Good on them :)
Surprised he didn’t grow back the beard.
Probably one of the few PDs in the US where they can’t afford to live where they patrol.
What did they call him?
Idiot? Or moron? Something like that.
Her face is so fake. Looks scary, or getting there.
2004 was a very long time ago.
Damon, and all the Sox just owned Boston back then no matter where they went. Like royalty.
Do you know who I am?
.300 is a great batting average, .30 is a great breathalyzer amount.
Johnny Damon will be inducted into the DWI Hall of Fame.
He should have played the “don’t you know who I am?” card. That always works.
In this age of Uber I just dont get it. Call it a night, get an Uber and get the car the next day (or the next next day). Waaaaay cheaper in long run and it’s the right thing as well.
0.30 BA is what an alcoholic would blow. For most people, you would be dead.
His wife, on the other hand ... no comment.
Windermere is also where Tiger got arrested.
In my professional line of work I deal with traffic safety quite a bit. Despite that, I never understood the whole fixation our society has on sobriety limits for intoxicated driving. Groups like MADD pretend that reducing the blood-alcohol limit from 0.10% to 0.08% (or lower) will improve motor vehicle safety, but I’m sure the vast majority of major alcohol-related motor vehicle fatalities involve drivers who are way above those numbers. Reducing the BAC limit from 0.10% to 0.08% does nothing when you’ve got knuckleheads out there driving above 0.20%-0.25% like this.
Windemere is a rich place and well patrolled.
I got busted for DWI back in 1994, and thank God I did before I killed someone driving. It was hell, all weekend in jail first in a holding pen with nowhere to sit then in a single cell with a Rabbi, yes a Rabbi, who all weekend constantly screamed for his lawyer. It was like being in a zoo from hell with the guards acting like tourists, the longest weekend in my life. Got me off drinking immediately.
