Lenny Dykstra Facing Jail Time for Cocaine, Meth Possession, Terroristic Threats

Former MLB outfielder Lenny Dykstra was indicted by a New Jersey grand jury Wednesday on counts of cocaine possession, methamphetamine possession and making terroristic threats.

TMZ Sports reported the three charges are related to a May arrest for allegedly threatening an Uber driver and that each carries a potential sentence of three to five years in prison if he's convicted.

The driver alleged Dykstra pulled out a gun and pointed it at his head after he refused to change the destination of the trip, per TMZ. Although police didn't find a firearm upon arriving at the scene, they did find him in possession of cocaine, marijuana and MDMA.

Matthew Blit, the 55-year-old's attorney, provided a statement to TMZ following Wednesday's indictment.

"A grand jury will indict a ham sandwich," he said. "The evidence in this case overwhelmingly confirms Lenny is innocent."

Dykstra spent 12 seasons in MLB split between the New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies. He earned three All-Star Game selections and won the 1986 World Series with the Mets.

In May 2012, he received a three-year prison sentence for grand theft auto and filing a false financial statement. He was also sentenced to six-and-a-half months in prison for hiding items, including baseball memorabilia, that were supposed to become part of his bankruptcy filing.

He was released from prison in June 2013.
