From ESPN:

HOUSTON — Former major leaguer Chuck Knoblauch was charged with assaulting his common-law wife.

A judge set Knoblauch’s bond at $10,000 after he appeared in court Tuesday. According to a criminal complaint, Knoblauch’s wife told police he hit her in the face and choked her at their Houston home Friday.

Knoblauch’s attorney did not immediately return a telephone call Tuesday.

Prosecutors contend Knoblauch had been drinking heavily Friday evening and taking Xanax, an anti-anxiety drug, according to the Houston Chronicle.

Knoblauch’s wife was attempting to get a hold of Knoblauch’s car keys, prosecutors, said, when he allegedly attacked her, the Chronicle reported.

What an awful story. According to FOX 9 News, if convicted, Knoblauch faces 2-10 years in prison and up to a $10,000 fine.
