«Breaking News» Former MLB All-Star Lenny Dykstra has cocaine and methamphetamine charges dropped

Former New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies centerfielder Lenny Dykstra pleaded guilty to reduced disorderly conduct charges in a New Jersey court on Friday

Former New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies centerfielder Lenny Dykstra pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct charges in a New Jersey court on Friday, but avoided any jail time as the judge dropped drug charges connected to the 56-year-old's May arrest for allegedly threatening to shoot and kill an Uber driver.

Dykstra, who was originally charged with cocaine and methamphetamine possession, was given a $125 fine and ordered to have no contact with the driver.

'The fact that the charges are dropped is something that I'm very happy with,' Dykstra told reporters on Friday, as quoted by MyCentralJersey.com.

Superior Court Judge Lisa Miralles Walsh reduced a terroristic threat charge to a petty disorderly persons offense, according to NJ.com.

'I hope you have learned a lesson from this,' Judge Walsh said. 'I wish you the best of luck.'

The drug charges were dropped because Dykstra's attorney David Bahuriak successfully argued that the Linden, New Jersey police had no right to search his client's belongings at the time of the arrest.

'My lawyer did a great job of presenting the facts,' Dykstra said after the hearing. 'I'm happy this chapter of my life is behind me.'

In February, Dykstra told the Daily Mail he was confident the charges would be dropped: 'We have this thing called the constitution, where you're supposed to follow it - like fair and balanced.'

The arrest took place at a Linden parking garage in May after Dykstra and the driver began arguing.

At one point during the car ride, Dykstra called 911 saying the driver was kidnapping him.

The Uber driver, Brian Lutty, told police Dykstra said he had a gun and that he would kill him, although no gun was ever found.

Dykstra told police he can't have a gun because he is a convicted felon.

'I'm a convicted felon — I can't own a firearm,' he can be heard saying in a police body-cam recording.

Police ultimately searched Dykstra's belongings and found cocaine and methamphetamine.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
