Oregon State left-handed pitcher Ben Wetzler was arrested on Saturday night for criminal trespassing in the first degree while criminal mischief in the second degree.
According to the police, Wetzler was intoxicated and thought the residence he was entering was his place. It was not and he subsequently broke a window on the door. The residents of the place told Wetzler to leave and proceeded to call the Corvallis Police Department.
The incident took place on Saturday morning at 4:39am which was only a few hours after Wetzler pitched eight innings allowing only two runs against UCLA.
Interesting that Wetzler was in the dugout on Saturday and Sunday after the incident. Oregon State head coach Pat Casey did not speak to the media after the team completed a sweep of UCLA on Sunday.

Should be suspended for the balance of Pac12 play. What an arrogant act on Casey’s part to allow him into the dugout on Sunday.
There is little upside with booze. He has likely learne a big leasson, and has been the teacher to his branch as well… I hope he recovers from this hard lesson in life. Crazy kid ! Learn from this!!!!
I am very sorry for his behaviour because he carry my mother’s family name, but they are Austrians and from the nobility, so maybe we don’t have anything to do with his unknown Wetzler’s
