According to a news release from the Palm Beach Gardens Police Department, the 50-year-old former All Star entered a Hamilton Jewelers store in shopping mall and handed a clerk a note demanding money. The clerk, believing Reardon had a gun, filled a bag with an undisclosed amount of cash.
Reardon fled the store with the cash and was followed by the store manager. Police arrived and arrested Reardon without incident outside a P.F. Chang's restaurant. The money was recovered at the same time.
Reardon, who has lived in Florida since the 1980's, earned over $11 million in his baseball career. He played for the Montreal Expos, the Minnesota Twins (and was instrumental in the team's 1987 World Series win), the Boston Red Sox, the Cincinnati Reds and the New York Yankees. He was dubbed "The Terminator" and remains one of the most effective pitchers in baseball history.
He is charged with armed robbery, but the police statement does not provide any details on weapons recovered at the time of the arrest.
