Former Baseball Star Lenny Dykstra Jailed on 25 Charges
Lenny Dykstra, who played for the New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies, was jailed on Monday on charges of grand theft auto and drug possession. These come from accusations of using false information to lease a car from a California dealership.
Dykstra was charged with 25 misdemeanor and felony counts of grand theft auto, attempted grand theft auto, identity theft, and other charges. The Los Angeles District Attorney's office says Dykstra is facing 12 years in prison if convicted.
According to prosecutors, Dykstra and two accomplices allegedly tried to lease high-end vehicles from dealers earlier this year by providing false information and claiming credit through a phony company called Home Free Systems. One of three dealerships accepted the lease applications and allowed the men to leave with three cars.
When Dykstra was arrested in April, law enforcement allegedly found cocaine, Ecstasy, and a synthetic human growth hormone called Somatropin in his San Fernando Valley home.
Dykstra has had a string of bad luck. He filed for bankruptcy two years ago, and was charged with more than 12 federal counts including bankruptcy fraud in May.
If you have been charged with theft or drug offenses in the Orange County or Orlando, Florida area, please contact the experienced criminal defense attorneys at the Umansky Law Firm today. We offer a free and confidential case consultation.
