Cubs’ Castro questioned; Later released and cleared by police

UPDATE 12/28: Castro was questioned and released in the matter, officially being cleared of any wrongdoing.

UPDATE 2:17 PM CT: Starlin Castro’s agent refutes that Castro was arrested or detained, and that he voluntarily went in for questioning. Paul Sullivan has reported that authorities have video and know that Castro wasn’t involved. His agent Paul Kinzer has also made it clear that Castro had no involvement.

UPDATE 1:14 PM CT: Enrique Rojas has clarified that Castro was “detained” and not arrested.

Reports are that the Chicago Cubs shortstop has been arrested for questioning in a shooting that left six people injured at a nightclub in the Dominican Republic. It is not believed that Castro is the shooter, but it is people close to him that were involved.

Castro was one of seven people detained or arrested in connection with the incident. The details are spotty at this point, and with many of the reports in Spanish, the language barrier can be an issue in the details. The incident is however separate from the one that just happened recently, that Castro was cleared of any wrongdoing in. We will keep you up to date with any new details of the incident, and would urge everyone to sit tight and wait for more to emerge on this story. This is however the third “incident” that Castro has been a part of in his native Dominican that may lead to more questions.
