Rockies Roster: Pitcher Alex White in T-R-O-U-B-L-E

Did you hear the news? Specifically, the news the Colorado Rockies roster man Alex White is in some major trouble with the Scottsdale police? Obviously down in the area for Spring Training, the Rockies pitcher was arrested on Saturday night for driving with a blood alcohol level of more than twice the legal limit in Arizona - .174. This is considered to be an EXTREME DUI, and carries a minimum 30 day jail sentence, but White could also face probation, loss of his driver's license and a $2500 fine. All in all that seems pretty lenient for such a potentially serious offense. This guy could have KILLED someone, athlete or not. Sounds like not only is Alex White in trouble, but that Scottsdale could use some serious tightening of the old punishment for extreme DUIs. Just a thought.
