Rogers Turns Himself in to Police to Face Charges
Texas Rangers pitcher Kenny Rogers turned himself in to authorities Monday on misdemeanor assault charges stemming from his tirade against two cameramen.
Arlington police spokeswoman Christy Gilfour said Rogers faces a charge of assault with injury in the shoving of KDFW cameraman Larry Rodriguez. She said police will mail an assault citation to Rogers' attorney for shoving Fox Sports Net Southwest cameraman David Mammeli.
The assault charge involving Rodriguez is punishable by up to a year in jail and a fine of up to $4,000. The other charge is punishable by a fine of up to $500.
Gilfour said Fox Sports - which owns the camera Rogers damaged in shoving Rodriguez - has declined to press criminal charges.
Rogers is free on $1,500 bond. He's appealing a 20-game suspension and $50,000 for shoving the cameramen June 29.
