Retired outfielder Johnny Damon was arrested in Florida on Friday morning on charges of driving under the influence and resisting an officer without violence, according to CBS Miami.

The 47-year-old Orlando native had a blood alcohol level above .20, according to Windermere police reports, which is more than twice the state's legal limit of .08.

Damon is being held at the Orange County Corrections Department.

He played 18 MLB seasons, including six with the Kansas City Royals, four with the Boston Red Sox, and four with the New York Yankees.

Damon was a two-time All-Star and won two World Series, one each with the Red Sox and Yankees.
