Authorities in the Dominican Republic have arrested Cleveland Indians player Fausto Carmona, who is accused of using a fake identity to try to obtain a US visa.
Police spokesman Colonel Maximo Aybar Baez said Carmona, whose actual name is Roberto Hernandez Heredia, was arrested after leaving the US Consulate in Santo Domingo on Thursday, where he had gone to renew his US visa.
Authorities said Heredia is 31 years old and not 28, as he has claimed. He will appear in court this morning. It is not yet known whether he will be sent to prison on remand or will be released on bail.
The pitcher was trying to renew his visa in order to attend spring training in February. He came to play for the Aguilas Cibaenas.
