“In fact, cops say Michelle Mangan-Damon was uncooperative, combative -- and at one point, she actually pushed a police officer,” TMZ continued.
Magnon-Damon arrested for battery on a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest with violence.
Damon helped the Red Sox to their 2004 World Series title, hitting two home runs, one of which was a grand slam, to lead the Red Sox to the pennant over the New York Yankees; in the World Series, he also hit a home run as the Red Sox won the series against the St. Louis Cardinals in a four-game sweep for the Sox first World Series championship since 1918.
