Dominican pitcher Maximo Nelson was arrested by Japanese police after a live bullet was found in his bag at an airport in Okinawa.

Nelson, who was in spring training with the Chunichi Dragons, was taken into custody on suspicion of breaching the country’s laws on gun and sword control, the Kyodo news agency reported.

The 27-year-old was signed by the New York Yankees in 2000 before being named one of dozens of Dominican Republic natives caught up in a marriage scheme to fraudulently win US visas for women. All the minor league players involved were banned from getting visas for entry to the US.
