Reds pitcher Brian Shackelford arrested for sexual assault

Cincinnati Reds pitcher Brian Shackelford was arrested early Thursday on suspicion of third-degree sexual assault. The 29-year-old player was arrested shortly after midnight at Miller Park, where the Reds played the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday night, police spokeswoman Anne E. Schwartz said. She declined to provide details on the arrest other than to say it involved a woman Monday.”It’s an ongoing criminal investigation,” she said.

One can’t help but see the irony in a guy named “Shackelford” being handcuffed and locked in jail. It’s like Tiger Woods hitting a shot out of bounds into a bunch of trees. Or Carmello Anthony choking on a piece of candy.
