Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco was arrested Monday in San Juan de la Maguana after what two police sources said was an altercation Sunday in the parking lot of an apartment complex in which guns were drawn.
Police sources confirm that Franco and an unnamed woman were being held for questioning following the incident.
One of the guns presumably belonged to Franco, who was allegedly fighting with the other man over the woman\'s attention.
Franco, who was placed on indefinite administrative leave from Major League Baseball on Aug. 22, 2023, is due to stand trial in the Dominican Republic on Dec. 12 in a separate case involving charges of sexual abuse, sexual exploitation against a minor and human trafficking, which could result in a sentence of up to 20 years.
