A spokesperson from the Norcross Police Department confirmed Ozuna's arrest and release to PEOPLE, adding that officers observed him driving at a "pretty high speed" before the arrest.

In May 2021, Ozuna was arrested and charged with aggravated assault by strangulation and battery after police responded to a domestic abuse call regarding his wife at their Sandy Springs, Georgia, home.

At the time, the responding officers heard screaming coming from inside and saw that the front door was wide open before they entered and witnessed him "grabbing the victim by the neck and throwing her against a wall," according to a statement by the Sandy Springs Police Department.

In November 2021, Major League Baseball issued Ozuna a retroactive 20-game suspension for violating the league's domestic violence policy, after the outfielder had already been placed on administrative leave under the same policy, according to the Associated Press.

In April, prosecutors dropped the domestic violence charges against Ozuna after he completed 200 hours of community service, an anger management program and a 24-weeks long family violence intervention program, according to WSB-TV.
