New details surrounding the arrest of Atlanta Braves star Marcell Ozuna emerged Tuesday and, according to one report, the veteran outfielder allegedly threatened to kill his wife in a dispute "over an infidelity."

In a booking report from the Sandy Springs Police Department obtained by TMZ Sports, Ozuna’s wife Genesis Guzman claims that the argument over the weekend began when Ozuna "took both her cellphones from the bathroom while she showered without her consent."
