This just keeps getting worse. As we reported on Wednesday, Gooden was once again involved in a traffic accident, and he was being charged with DUI. In the NY Post this morning, Rita Delfiner reports that Gooden was under the influence of drugs, though the drug he had taken was not given.
He had his five year old child in the car...unrestrained, and the boy hit his head. Thankfully, he was not injured.
Gooden also reportedly left the scene of the accident. Allegedly Gooden gave his name to the other driver, then left the scene. The victim called 911.
Gooden is in the same class as Steve Howe right now. Howe, who was a seven time drug offender, was given a dozen second chances. He had a respectable career, but couldn't defeat his demons.
Howe, tragically, died at the age of 48. He died when the car he was in rolled over. The toxicology report showed he had methamphetamine in his system. If the former Met Phenom doesn't embrace sobriety and cherish it, I am afraid he will suffer the same fate.
The alarm clock has been ringing for years Dwight. Stop hitting the snooze button.
