Former Met Jose Reyes arrested in alleged domestic violence incident

Jose Reyes was arrested at a Maui hotel on Halloween after an argument with his wife "turned physical and resulted in injuries," according to the report filed by the Maui Police Department and obtained by Newsday on Tuesday.

Reyes, 32, was released on $1,000 bail, but issued a warning citation that prohibited any contact with his wife, Katherine Ramirez, for three days after the arrest. The former Mets shortstop, a homegrown four-time All-Star during his Flushing tenure, still must face charges for "abuse of a family and/or household member," as outlined in the report.

According to the Maui Police Department, Reyes was arrested at the Four Seasons Resort in Wailea, where the incident occurred. Ramirez was treated at the scene by medics and later taken to the Maui Memorial Medical Center.

Hawaii News Now reported that Reyes allegedly grabbed Ramirez by the throat and shoved her into a sliding glass balcony door during the argument. Ramirez reportedly told authorities that she suffered thigh, neck and wrist injuries.

Commissioner Rob Manfred, speaking on Tuesday at MLB's annual general managers' meetings, briefly addressed the Reyes incident, which comes just three months after the implementation of a new Joint Domestic Violence Policy, through cooperation with the players' association.

"We will process this one consistent with the new policy that we negotiated with the MLBPA," Manfred said. "Obviously, it's an issue of concern to us."

Reyes' arrest first became public late Monday night, and MLB released a statement early the next morning, before Manfred took the podium, saying an investigation into the facts and circumstances of the case already had begun.

"As evidenced by our Joint Domestic Violence Policy, Major League Baseball understands the seriousness of the issues surrounding domestic violence, and our Policy explicitly recognizes the harm resulting from such acts," the statement said. "Any action taken by the Commissioner's Office in this matter will be wholly in accordance with this Policy."

Reyes, who is listed in the report as living in Old Brookville, was traded from the Blue Jays to the Rockies in July. Reyes is still owed a guaranteed $48 million through 2017, the final year of the six-year, $106-million contract he signed with the Marlins before the 2012 season.
