Pro baseball player jailed for sleeping behind the Key West airport, police say
A 28-year-old Major League baseball player was jailed this week after police said they found him sleeping behind the Key West airport.
Andrew Alvin Toles was arrested June 22 on a misdemeanor charge of trespassing after he refused to leave the area, according to the arrest report from the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office.
Police listed his address as the “streets of Key West.”
Toles was sleeping behind the Federal Express building, located at Key West International Airport, 3491 S. Roosevelt Blvd. All he had with him was a black book bag, deputies said.
Police said they gave Toles several chances to leave the area without being arrested but he wouldn’t walk away, wrote Deputy Tomas Venegas.
On Friday, Toles remained at the Stock Island Detention Center on a $500 bond.
He has a court date set for July 2 before County Judge Peary Fowler.
An outfielder for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Toles spent last year on the restricted list, after leaving the Dodgers’ spring training facility in late May due to a personal matter, according to reports by MLB.com. Because of the pandemic, baseball play is currently suspended until July 1, when teams can report to their spirng training sites for practice.
In the 2016 playoffs, Toles hit .364 and scored six runs for the Dodgers. But he missed most of 2017 due to a torn ACL, CBS Sports reported.
