We now have video of Johnny Damon’s DUI arrest and it’s pretty wild.
Last month, the former Yankees/Red Sox player and his wife Michelle Mangan-Damon were arrested for resisting arrest during DUI traffic stop near Orlando, Florida

TMZ Sports has obtained the police report … in which cops say Johnny Damon’s blood-alcohol level was .30, nearly FOUR TIMES the legal limit.
Cops also say Damon’s wife was in the car at the time of the arrest — and describe her as being completely out of control.
In fact, cops say Michelle Mangan-Damon was uncooperative, combative — and at one point, she actually pushed a police officer.
On Tuesday, police released body cam footage of the arrest and it shows Damon slurring his words while speaking to the officer as his wife gets out of the car and resists arrest by trying to walk away. During the arrest, both Damon and his wife could be heard yelling “Blue Lives Matter” at the officers.
