Cleveland Indian in the bushes, Scott Sauerbeck pleads not guilty

Doesn’t it always seem like there’s a scandal or some kind of drama going on when it comes to professional sports? Well, one would consider finding an Indian in the bush drama, a Cleveland Indian. take as an example Scott Sauerbeckthe Cleveland Indians pitcher, who was arrested this week for driving while intoxicated and obstructing official business.

Sauerbeck and a woman named Lily Miller were seen by a patrol car weaving in and out of the lane they were driving in. once police gave chase to the vehicle, Sauerbeck and Miller got to their feet and fled from the vehicle owned by Sauerbeck. Both Sauerbeck and Miller were detained while hiding behind some bushes.

Both Sauerbeck and Miller were charged with the same crime and were due to appear in Avon Lake Municipal Court, which is 30 miles from Cleveland. By pre-trial date, Sauerbeck, 34, had his attorney fax a not guilty plea to Sheffield Village District Attorney D. Chris Cook. This is not an uncommon practice in the municipal court system, Cook said. Miller was given the same court dates as Sauerbeck, and also entered his not guilty plea to the court via fax, with trial scheduled for July 11, 2006. However, since the arrest, Sauerbeck he has not appeared in a game for Cleveland. on Tuesday he did apologize to his teammates and his family.
