JUST A LITTLE SETBACK
--
Phils' Urbina held pending attempted murder charge
CARACAS, Venezuela - Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Ugueth Urbina was arrested and held today pending a formal charge of attempted murder, police said.
Last month, Urbina and a group of men allegedly attacked five workers with machetes and poured gasoline on them in an attempt to set them on fire. All five were injured, some of them with cuts and one with burns on the back and right arm, police said.
"This, of course, can in some way hurt his career as a professional ballplayer, and all will depend on the way in which he is brought before justice," defense lawyer Jose Luis Tamayo said.
