Atlanta Braves outfielder, Marcell Ozuna, is going through a rough phase in his professional career. His current form was the biggest concern for the Braves manager, Brian Snitker. But the recent incident has raised more questions about his place on the Braves active roster. 

Notably, earlier on Friday, a Norcross Police officer arrested Ozuna on the charges of driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI). When talking about his current form, the Braves outfielder did not make it to the Braves lineup for the fifth straight game. And now, this arrest will only make his case worse.

When the cop arrested Ozuna, they recorded a visual of the same. And one can see that Ozuna is continuously saying he is from the Braves. “I’m Ozuna from the Braves,” Ozuna said to the cop. He even provided his MLB identity card to prove that he was a baseball player.
