Overview

• Rafael Furcal, a former MLB All-Star, turned himself in on May 14 following a warrant issued by the Sunrise Police Department.
• He is charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and throwing a missile into an occupied vehicle, both second-degree felonies under Florida law.
• The charges stem from an April 28 incident in a Sunrise, Florida parking lot where Furcal allegedly threw rocks and a plastic bottle at a truck driver after a near collision.
• The alleged victim claims to have sustained lacerations requiring five stitches and bruising, while Furcal asserts he acted in self-defense against a knife attack.
• Furcal has been released on a $7,500 bond as the Sunrise Police Department continues its active investigation into the case.
