It’s been tough past couple of days for Royals lefty Danny Duffy. He was placed on the DL with elbow soreness this past Saturday after throwing a gem on Aug. 22, and now according to Sports Radio 810 HB, Duffy was arrested Sunday at a Burger King location in Overland Park:
According to Overland Park municipal court records, Duffy was charged with the violation at 7:35pm. The Royals lost at Cleveland 12-0 earlier in the day.
Duffy is scheduled for arraignment September 19 at 1:00pm. The Royals are scheduled to play in Toronto that night.

Apparantly quite the ordeal for other diners in line behind him. At least one was asked by Duffy to jump into drivers seat to save him.

Duffy never made it to pickup window. Ran into window short of pickup while passing out. That's where his vehicle stopped.
