Chicago White Sox manager Tony La Russa was charged with driving under the influence after he allegedly ran his car into a curb in February, leaving it smoking on the side of a Phoenix-area road.
It is the second known drunken driving arrest for La Russa, who in 2007 pleaded guilty to misdemeanor DUI in Jupiter, Florida.
La Russa, who is 76, was hired to lead the White Sox last week after a nine-year absence from the dugout.

A White Sox spokesman said they were aware of the incident.
When reached by ESPN, La Russa said, “I have nothing to say,” and he hung up the phone.
