Damon, a founding member of the famed Red Sox Idiots crew of 2004 and well-know Trump supporter, was arrested at approximately 8:15 AM and according to authorities blew a blood alcohol level of .30 — nearly four times the state limit of .08.
Damon’s wife, Michelle Mangan-Damon, is facing charges of battery on a law enforcement officer and resisting an officer with violence.
