Talk about a wild night.
The body camera footage of exactly what went down when Johnny Damon was pulled over and eventually arrested by Windermere police was released Tuesday.
The former Yankees and Red Sox star was pulled over and arrested outside of his Orlando-area gated community on Feb. 19. He was charged with a DUI after registering between a .294 and .30 blood alcohol level, the Orlando Sentinel reported citing the police report. That is nearly four times the legal limit in Florida.
The video shows cops pulling over Damon and his wife who were both uncooperative with authorities from the start, with the two-time World Series champ appearing confused as to why he had been stopped.
“Do you see the police lights?” the cop asked after he asked the couple why they were getting out of the car.
When asked if he had been drinking, Damon responded: “Oh, a little bit.”
His wife, Michelle Mangan-Damon, who was repeatedly told to remain in the car, eventually became physically violent with the officer as he tried to get her to go back in the car.
“Don’t f—ing touch me,” Mangan-Damon said as she shoved the officer. Damon, who said he was trying to help get his wife back in the car, then told his wife out loud, to just “walk home.”
As Mangan-Damon was being handcuffed, Damon could be heard saying, “we are all about cops,” and Mangan-Damon said, “look at our license plate. ‘Blue Lives Matter.'”
Mangan-Damon was charged with battery of a law enforcement officer and resisting officer with violence, the Orlando newspaper reported.

Damon, 47, repeatedly insisted he was “not a bad guy,” after he eventually gave his wallet to the officer for identification.
“I know people are trying to target me because I’m a Trump supporter,” Damon told the cop looking for his ID. “I don’t think that has anything to do with it,” the officer replied. “Yeah, it does,” Damon concluded.
He struggled his way though a series of sobriety tests, including walking a straight line, standing on one foot while counting and following a light with his eyes while keeping his head still.
The video concludes with Damon being asked to perform another test, but appears to instead be a tactic to calm him down so the officer could put handcuffs on him.
He was also charged with resisting arrest, but that charge was later dropped, per the Sentinel.
