Making $42 million in MLB I guess wasn’t enough for Loaiza. Here is the story via TMZ.
Former MLB All-Star pitcher Esteban Loaiza was arrested Friday in San Diego with at least 44 pounds of heroin or cocaine … and could now face more than 20 years behind bars.
Loaiza, 46, is being charged with 3 felonies …
1) Possession of more than 20kgs of heroin or cocaine
2) Possession or purchase of narcotics
3) Transportation or sale of narcotics
He’s currently being held at Chula Vista’s South Bay Detention Facility with bail set at $200,000. He’s due to appear in court on Wednesday.
Loaiza was initially stopped by police during a traffic stop for a minor traffic violation — but a search of his car led to the discovery of a “sophisticated aftermarket compartment used to conceal contraband.”
He was trying to be a kingpin but now is looking at jail. He had $500k of weight on him.
