Yesterday the Florida state attorney's office released disturbing new details about Detroit Tigers star Miguel Cabrera's DUI arrest last month. The documents accuse Cabrera of threatening a restaurant manager shortly before his arrest:

About half an hour before Cabrera's disabled 2005 black Land Rover was spotted by police, the manager of a bar in Fort Pierce, Fla., had had an altercation with the Tigers slugger, the police report said.
Cabrera reportedly walked into Cowboys Bar-B-Q & Steak Co. as it was closing and was asked to leave, the report said. Cabrera ignored management's request, and when he was asked to leave again, he said: "You don't know me. I will kill you. I know all of you, and I will kill all of you and blow this place up."
Another witness at the bar, an off-duty wildlife officer, said Cabrera told him "he had a gun in his bag for us." The police reports do not indicate Cabrera had a gun.The new information doesn't change anything going forward, as we know Cabrera needs help and hopefully he will get it. However, it does offer a little insight into how bad things could have been.
