San Francisco Giants outfielder Cameron Maybin was charged with DUI early Friday morning in Arizona, police said.

He agreed to an alcohol breath test and a blood test, according to the Arizona Republic. He reportedly recorded a BAC of .127 and when tested again minutes later a .125. The legal limit in the state is .08.
“We’re aware of the situation and are monitoring,” Giants senior vice president of communications Staci Slaughter told the San Francisco Chronicle.
