MIAMI — Jose Canseco was sent to jail Tuesday after violating his probation for a 2001 nightclub brawl.
The former major league slugger could be held until a scheduled March 17 hearing, Judge Leonard E. Glick ruled.
“I understand that I have to take responsibility,” Canseco said. “I ask for the mercy and understanding of the court.”
Shortly after, Glick ordered Canseco into custody.
“No bond,” Glick said.
Wearing a dark double-breasted suit, the 38-year-old Canseco handed his wallet and a thick silver necklace to his lawyer before being led out of the courtroom, his hands cuffed behind his back.
Glick issued a warrant for Canseco’s arrest Friday after being told the six-time All-Star had failed to begin anger control classes and community service, and that he had left Florida for longer than 30 days.
