Former Major League Baseball pitcher Danny Serafini he has a big problem…because he just got arrested for serious crimes!!
Serafini and his alleged accomplice Samantha Scottwere arrested Friday in Nevada in connection with the deadly 2021 shooting Robert Gary Spohr and attempted murder of Wendy Wood.
Police said the victims were Serafini’s in-laws, but would not characterize the relationship between the former Minnesota Twins player and Scott.
According to a June 2021 press release, officers were called to a home in North Lake Tahoe, California, and discovered Spohr had been shot to death.
His wife, Wendy, suffered a gunshot wound in the same attack and was rushed to a local hospital, where she was released after treatment. He died a year later.
Security video from his home shows a masked man with a hood and a backpack lurking around the property in the hours before the bloodshed. Investigators have not released a motive, and formal charges have not yet been filed against Serafini and Scott.
In his 7-year MLB career, Serafini pitched not only for the Twins, but also for the San Diego Padres, Chicago Cubs, Cincinnati Reds, Pittsburgh Pirates, and Colorado Rockies.
