Milton Bradley at it again

Former major leaguer Milton Bradley, who spent parts of two tumultuous seasons with the Dodgers, faces prosecution on 13 misdemeanor counts of assault with a deadly weapon, vandalism and persuading a witness from making a report in a domestic abuse case involving his estranged wife in Los Angeles.

Bradley, who was traded in 2005 by the Dodgers to the Oakland A's after throwing a water bottle at fans and having an altercation with a reporter, could be jailed up to 13 years and forced to pay $13,000 in fines and restitution if convicted on all counts.

He denies the charges, which include Bradley threatening or attacking his estranged wife on five occasions in 2011 and 2012, according to prosecutors, who charged him Thursday and released the following statement:

“During one incident in November 2012, Bradley allegedly pushed his wife against a kitchen wall and choked her with both hands after she requested that he stop smoking marijuana in front of their children and requested that his friends leave her San Fernando Valley home.”

Other charges include Bradley hitting his estranged wife in the ribs, intimidating her with a baseball bat and threatening her with a knife.

Milton Bradley Reportedly Sentenced to Almost 3 Years in Jail

Former MLB outfielder Milton Bradley has reportedly been sentenced to 960 days in jail and 400 hours of community service for abuse of his estranged wife.

NBC Sports' Matthew Pouliot provides further detail on Bradley's crimes and charges:

Bradley, who faced up to 7 1/2 years, was convicted of nine misdemeanor counts after a four-week trial. Four of those counts were for spousal battery, and one was for assault with a deadly weapon. He threatened and attacked his wife five times between 2011-12. The two are now in the midst of divorce proceedings.

Bradley is currently free on bond, but he is due back in court in August, per Pouliot.

Anger isn't exactly a new defining characteristic for the former talented, yet controversial, ballplayer.

In June of 2004, after being ejected from the game for arguing balls and strikes, Bradley responded by returning to the dugout and throwing a bag of baseballs onto the field, resulting in a four-game suspension.

In September of 2007, he tore his right ACL while arguing with umpire Mike Winters, an untimely injury that seriously hindered the San Diego Padres' postseason hopes.

Those are the two incidents that likely initially stick out in the heads of most people, but he constantly made headlines for altercations with players, managers, fans and umpires alike. He broke bats, gave "the finger," threw objects into the stands and was seemingly always in trouble with the league.

Bradley has always had talent. He led the league in both on-base percentage and OPS during an All-Star season with the Texas Rangers in 2008, and he delivered other productive (albeit usually short) stints with the Padres, Los Angeles Dodgers and Cleveland Indians.

Sadly, his anger always got the best of him, leading to on- and off-the-field antics that were, in the end, always simply too much for teams to put up with.

Although it's too late for the 35-year-old to return to professional baseball, hopefully (for the sake of both him and his family) jail time and community service can serve as an avenue to help get his life back on track.
