Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco was charged with illegal gun possession in the Dominican Republic on Sunday.
The New York Post noted that 24-year-old Franco is already on trial for the charge of “sexual abuse of child…involving a girl who was 14 years old at the time of his alleged crimes.”
Now, the gun charge has been added against Franco, arising from a parking lot altercation last November.
Although no one was harmed in the altercation, a Glock handgun was allegedly found in Franco’s vehicle. The Glock “was registered in the name of Franco’s uncle,” according to the New York Post.
