Peavy's Charges Dropped

In early January, San Diego Padres pitcher Jake Peavy had a minor confrontation with a Mobile Regional Airport security officer that occurred while he was double parked, unloading equipment for a church mission that helps children in the Dominican Republic.

After refusing to move his vehicle and making a comment about "a real cop", Peavy, 25, was arrested and booked at the Mobile County Metro Jail and later released on a $350 bond.

The disorderly conduct charge was dismissed this week on the recommendation of the officer involved and the chief of airport police. Peavy apologized directly to the Airport officer during a meeting with his attorney and a second time at the court hearing.
