LAKEWOOD, Colo. -- Colorado Rockies pitcher Denny Neagle was cited Friday on a charge of soliciting a prostitute after a woman in his car said he paid her $40 for oral sex, police said.

Neagle, who has not pitched in more than a year because of injuries, was pulled over at about 1:30 a.m. in this west Denver suburb after an officer saw his white Cadillac Escalade speeding, police spokesman Steve Davis said.

After the officer asked Neagle why his belt was unbuckled, the woman said Neagle had paid her for sex, Davis said.

Davis said the woman, Jill Russell, 40, of Denver was issued a citation on a charge of prostitution. Her phone number wasn't available.

He is married and has three children.
In 2003, Neagle pleaded guilty to driving while impaired after his Hummer struck another vehicle.

Colorado Rockies oft-injured pitcher Denny Neagle was arrested early Friday after police say he paid a prostitute $40 for oral sex on Colfax Avenue.

Neagle, 36, of Morrison, told Lakewood police he was "being stupid," according to a police report.

"This is an extremely serious allegation against Denny Neagle, and we are continuing to gather all information about it," said Rockies team President Keli McGregor.

"While we are saddened by the circumstances surrounding Denny Neagle, our organization has and will continue to place great emphasis on character and accountability."

Police started following Neagle about 1:30 a.m. Friday after spotting him speeding in a white Cadillac Escalade across West Colfax Avenue on Ames Street near the Denver city line. An officer followed the SUV to West 14th Avenue, where he approached Neagle's car.

Neagle's eyes were watery and bloodshot, and he smelled of alcohol, according to the report.

When Neagle reached for his wallet, the officer noticed the pitcher's belt was undone.

When asked why it was unbuckled, Neagle told the officer he was just getting comfortable.

But the woman who was in the car with Neagle, Jill Russell, 40, told police that she had performed oral sex on him for $40. She was issued a summons for prostitution.

Neagle then admitted that he was in the area looking for sex, according to the police report.

Police ticketed Neagle for solicitation of prostitution, seized his $40 as evidence and explained his upcoming court date, to which Neagle responded:

"OK."

He was not arrested for drunken driving.

Neagle and his Chicago-based agent, Barry Meister, were unavailable for comment Friday.

This isn't Neagle's first run-in with the law. In October 2003, Neagle was cited for drunken driving after his Hummer hit another vehicle near West Alameda Avenue and South Kipling Street. He later pleaded guilty to driving while ability impaired.

The Jefferson County district attorney dismissed counts of DUI and careless driving.

Neagle was ordered to serve 40 hours of community service and sentenced to 90 days in jail, which was suspended. He also had to pay a $200 fine and court costs.

The Rockies signed Neagle to a five-year free agent contract in December 2000. His 2005 salary is $10 million, which jumps up to $12.5 million, with a $9 million buyout, in 2006.

He had reconstructive surgery on his left elbow in July 2003 and surgery for a torn left labrum in June 2004.

According to the 2004 Rockies Media Guide, Neagle and his wife, Jennifer, have a 4-year-old son.

He has received numerous humanitarian awards, including the 2001 Rockies Good Guy Award.

Asta!!

That dumb bitch should have kept her fucking mouth shut. She just incriminated herself as much as she did him.

dylanmarsh · 12-06-2004, 05:42 PM

No, it's more like the dumb bitch shoulda got more than $40 for a BJ from a guy that has millions and millions of dollars.

canuckguy · 12-06-2004, 05:46 PM

i still can't believe the contract this guys has!!! and what is he doing paying for sex, with all that money he should not have to much effort into getting some slag to home with him....

silent_jay · 12-06-2004, 05:46 PM

True he should of paid more, she might have stayed quiet.

radioguy · 12-06-2004, 07:40 PM

DENVER -- Denny Neagle's second run-in with the law in a little more than a year cost him his job with the Colorado Rockies.

Neagle

The Rockies terminated the oft-injured pitcher's contract Monday, three days after he was cited for solicitation.

"This decision is about an organization and the fans that support it," Rockies chairman Charles Monfort said. "Denny's pattern of behavior has not been consistent with what our organization represents."

Neagle, who has not pitched in more than a year because of injuries, was pulled over Friday in suburban Lakewood for allegedly speeding. Police said a woman in his car told them he had paid her $40 for oral sex.

Neagle's agent, Barry Meister, declined comment. The players' association could file a grievance to overturn the team's decision and get Neagle the remaining money owed under the contract.

"We're going to have some discussions with central baseball," said Gene Orza, the union's chief operating officer.

Neagle was issued a court for summons for Jan. 27. The woman, Jill Russell of Denver, was issued a citation on a charge of prostitution and a court summons for Jan. 13.

Last October, Neagle was charged with drunken driving after he drove his sport utility vehicle into the back of another vehicle. Later in 2003, he pleaded guilty.

The 36-year-old left-hander, who agreed to a $51 million, five-year contract in December 2000, is owed $19 million by the Rockies: $10 million in 2005 and a $9 million buyout of a $12.5 million team option for 2006.

He last pitched on July 20, 2003, and in the past 14 months has had elbow ligament and shoulder surgery. Neagle has a 124-92 career record with a 4.24 ERA over 11 seasons. As many pitchers do, Neagle struggled with the Rockies, going 19-23 with a 5.57 over the two-plus seasons he was healthy.

In other moves, right-hander Tim Bausher was claimed off waivers by the Boston Red Sox and left-hander Justin Hampson was assigned to the Rockies' affiliate in Colorado Springs.

Bausher, 25, began the season with Milwaukee's Double-A affiliate in Huntsville, Ala., where he was 1-6 with a 3.67 ERA in 11 games. Bausher joined the Rockies on a waiver claim June 7.

Hampson, 24, spent the season with Tulsa, where he went 10-9 with a 3.49 ERA in 27 starts. Hampson, the Rockies' 28th round pick in the 1999 June draft, ranked second in the Texas League in innings pitched (170.1), tied for fourth in starts and seventh in ERA.

Colorado's 40-man roster now stands at 34.

Hey, why don't you void my 50 million deal because I wanted a whore! It's vaguely disturbing that a guy this rich couldn't get laid, though. There goes my hope!

Blackthorn · 12-06-2004, 08:57 PM

At least he didn't bounce a check ala your good friend and mine Jerry Springer. The Reds should bring this clown back here...he can only help improve our bull pen.

thrsn0730 · 12-07-2004, 07:52 PM

Looks like the union will have its hands full, with the Yankees looking to unload Giambi and the Rockies unloading Neagle. It should send a message to players being paid waaaaay more than they're worth: Keep your noses clean.

kutulu · 12-08-2004, 12:33 PM

I don't think it's right that the Rockies can use this to counter their fiscal irresponsibility. This wouldn't happen to Helton. I hope the player's union wins this and protect's Giambi.

I can't remember who said it, but some famous guy who was caught soliciting said "You don't pay for the sex. You pay for them to leave when you are done."

Averett · 12-08-2004, 01:01 PM

Wow, I hadn't heard this. He seems like a good guy, played for the Braves for a few years.

Goes to show that we never know what goes on in others private lives...

When I take my $50 million fall from grace, I'm doing it with 10 pornstar-grade hos, an eight ball of coke, the Presidential Suite at the Four Seasons, in-house catering, a crate of vibrators, a box of Cuban cigars, and a video camera.

Lord-have-mercy, $40 bucks...

My question is why would a lady say that to a cop if Neagle was just pulled over for speeding? I mean my God what was that, "officer he just paid me 40 to give him head. Now please arrest me as a prostitute so I can pay 250 in fines."

Wonder if either were on drugs? That would explain where Dennis the Menace's money went.

I missed his DUI, wonder what Coors' Beer owner and president of the Rockies McMorris had to say about that one.
