Kim Mattingly, wife of L.A. Dodgers coach Don Mattingly, arrested

Los Angeles Dodgers coach Don Mattingly's wife, Kim, arrested for public intoxication. 

Kim Mattingly, wife of L.A. Dodgers coach Don Mattingly, arrested Kim Mattingly, wife of Los Angeles Dodgers special assignment coach Don Mattingly, was arrested on Tuesday and charged with public intoxication and disorderly conduct, according to reports. According to the police, they were called to the home of Don Mattingly on Saturday to investigate a report of a person refusing to leave the property.

 When the police arrived, the person turned out to be Kim Mattingly, the wife of the Dodgers coach, who according to the probable cause affidavit, smelled of alcohol and screamed at officers. Don and Kim Mattingly filed for divorce in November, citing irreconcilable differences, but the divorce has not been finalized yet. Kim Mattingly told the police the reason for the argument was that Don Mattingly had taken her phone and she wanted it back. Don Mattingly has denied having his estranged wife's phone and on Monday filed for a protective order against his wife, which the court granted.

 Kim Mattingly was arrested Saturday and charged with public intoxication and disorderly conduct, but released soon after posting $50 bond and made her first court appearance Monday on the charges. The next hearing is scheduled for March 3rd.

 A former AL MVP during 14 seasons with the Yankees from 1982-95, Mattingly spent the past four seasons as a coach under Joe Torre. After losing out to Joe Girardi for the Yankees' manager job, Mattingly followed Torre to the Dodgers. Last month Don Mattingly announced that because of family reasons, he will serve as special assignment coach in 2008, instead of hitting coach.
