NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- Former Yankees and Mets pitcher Dwight Gooden was arrested in New Jersey last month for possession of cocaine, according to court documents.
The Mets Hall of Famer -- he was inducted in 2010 along with Davey Johnson and Darryl Strawberry -- was busted by Holmdel Police, who pulled him over around 1 a.m. on June 7 for failure to maintain a lane, driving too slow and having overly-tinted windows.
Police then allegedly found him with "two, small green zip-lock style plastic baggies containing suspected cocaine," according to a criminal complaint filed by the Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office.
He was charged with third-degree possession of a controlled dangerous substance, as well as possession of drug paraphernalia and being under the influence at the time.
Gooden, 54, has a long history of cocaine abuse. He went to rehab after testing for cocaine in 1987, following the Mets' World Series win.
