Baseball player #DanryVasquez, formerly of the #CorpusChristiHooks, has been cut from the team after surveillance footage of him beating his girlfriend in a stadium was released. Vasquez was actually arrested for the incident back in August 2016, but basically got off for it even though the footage shows how violent he was.
His girlfriend wanted the charges to be dropped and Nueces County District Attorney Mark Gonzalez tells @TMZ_Tv that she didn’t want to cooperate with them in the case. They felt that it would be pointless to pursue charges against her wishes, so Vasquez was ultimately ordered to complete an anger management course. He completed it and the case was officially dismissed on March 6th.
Vasquez later signed with the Lancaster Barnstormers of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball, however upon viewing the surveillance video of Vasquez’s assault, they have decided to cut ties with him!
“Upon being made aware of the nature of the incident, the Barnstormers made a prompt decision to cut ties with the 24-year old.” Manager Ross Peeples added, “There is no choice but to sever the relationship. Neither I, nor the Barnstormers’ organization as a whole, can condone or associate with that behavior.”
The video is a bit graphic, but you can watch it here if you’d like.
