Boston reliever Bobby Jenks is arrested in Fort Myers, FL for driving under the influence, destruction of property and leaving the scene of an accident. Jenks argues that the cause of his erratic driving is because “I took too many muscle relaxers.” After further questions from police, he confesses that “I was just leaving Babes (nightclub) because I hit a car. I just had to get out of there.” Jenks had problems with alcohol in past years but claimed in 2010 that he had stopped drinking altogether.
