More Details From Miguel Cabrera's DUI Arrest Become Public

Yesterday the Florida state attorney's office released disturbing new details about Detroit Tigers star Miguel Cabrera's DUI arrest last month.  The documents accuse Cabrera of threatening a restaurant manager shortly before his arrest:
About half an hour before Cabrera's disabled 2005 black Land Rover was spotted by police, the manager of a bar in Fort Pierce, Fla., had had an altercation with the Tigers slugger, the police report said.
Cabrera reportedly walked into Cowboys Bar-B-Q & Steak Co. as it was closing and was asked to leave, the report said.  Cabrera ignored management's request, and when he was asked to leave again, he said: "You don't know me. I will kill you. I know all of you, and I will kill all of you and blow this place up."
Another witness at the bar, an off-duty wildlife officer, said Cabrera told him "he had a gun in his bag for us."   The police reports do not indicate Cabrera had a gun.
The new information doesn't change anything going forward, as we know Cabrera needs help and hopefully he will get it.  However, it does offer a little insight into how bad things could have been.
