Don Mattingly's wife jailed

Don Mattingly's marriage problems, which forced him to walk away from his job as Joe Torre's hitting coach with the Dodgers a few weeks ago, surfaced in an ugly manner on Saturday night.

Mattingly's estranged wife, Kim, was arrested and charged with public intoxication and disorderly conduct after she allegedly refused to leave her husband's property in Evansville, Ind.

The Mattinglys filed for divorce in November and, according to one person close to the situation, had been living separately.

According to a Vanderburgh County Sheriff's Department probable cause affidavit, Kim Mattingly was arrested after local deputies were called to the Mattingly home Saturday night because of a family dispute "involving a person who refused to leave."

Kim Mattingly told deputies that Don had taken her phone, which she wanted back. Don told them he didn't have the phone, and the deputies, in turn, told Kim she needed to go through her lawyer for future dealings with Don. She also was told to stay away from the property.

Later that night, deputies were called back to the home and found Kim Mattingly trying to leave as a passenger in a car. An officer ordered her out of the car, and, according to the report, found her unsteady on her feet, smelling of alcohol, and acting with "an abusive attitude."

At that point she was arrested for public intoxication. She reportedly resisted arrest, screaming and attempting to pull away while being handcuffed. She was later released from the Vanderburgh County Jail after posting a $50 bond.

Mattingly, who lost out to Joe Girardi for the job of replacing Torre as Yankees manager, accepted a part-time job with the Dodgers as special assignment coach after stepping down as hitting coach. People who knew him said he felt he needed to be home, as the youngest of his three sons is still in high school.
