Former Texas Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton was arrested Wednesday on a felony charge after being accused of hitting one of his daughters last month.

Hamilton, 38, a Keller resident, turned himself in to Tarrant County authorities on a single count of injury to a child 14 or younger. He was released about 3:15 p.m. after posting $35,000 bond.  ...

The girl told authorities that Hamilton became upset about something she said and threw a full water bottle at her, hitting her in the chest, while cursing and yelling. He then pulled a chair out from under her feet and tossed it at her before yanking her to the ground, the affidavit says.

Hamilton then picked up the girl, threw her over his shoulder and carried her to her bedroom as she yelled that she was sorry, the document says. She said he threw her onto her bed, used one hand to pin down her head and then started hitting her legs with his other hand. ... Full story at Dallas News

New details, from an arrest warrant affidavit:

One of Hamilton’s daughters said in late September, he threw a chair at her which broke and hit her leg. Also said he pinned her to the bed and hit her legs with an open hand and closed fist

Sounds like anger management issues.  Or maybe Roid Rage?
