Joba Chamberlain, a member of the
Winnebago Tribe of
Nebraska who plays for the
New
York Yankees, was arrested on Saturday on a drunken-driving charge.
Chamberlain was at home in Nebraska when he was pulled over. He reportedly failed a blood alcohol test and spent the night in a detox center in Lincoln, where he grew up.
The 23-year-old star pitcher apologized for what he called an "error in judgment." He is set to appear in court on December 17.
