Former player Chuck Knoblauch accused of choking wife, arrested


HOUSTON — Former major leaguer Chuck Knoblauch has been charged with assaulting his common-law wife.

A judge set Knoblauch's bond at US$10,000 after he appeared in court Tuesday. According to a criminal complaint, Knoblauch's wife told police he hit her in the face and then choked her at their Houston home on Friday.

Knoblauch's lawyer did not immediately return a telephone call Tuesday.

The 41-year-old former infielder is a Houston native and a four-time all-star who played for the New York Yankees, Minnesota Twins and Kansas City Royals from 1991-02.

Knoblauch was one of more than 80 players who were accused of using performance-enhancing drugs in the 2007 Mitchell Report on baseball's steroids era.

Knoblauch later acknowledged using performance enhancers. By Google
