A former All-Star pitcher and husband of a "Real Housewives of Orange County" cast member was arrested Saturday on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol and evading arrest, an Orange County Sheriff's Department spokesman said.
Deputies arrested Matthew Lon Keough, 54, at his Coto de Caza home around 1:30 p.m., according to Jim Amormino, OCSD spokesman.
Amormino said deputies saw Keough drive through a stop sign and when the officers flashed their lights at him he failed to stop. Officers then followed Keough as he slowly drove home, where they arrested him on suspicion of evading arrest, in addition to drunken driving suspicions.
A blood test found Keough's blood alcohol level about 0.29, nearly four times the legal limit of .08 percent, the Sheriff's Department said.
"At nearly four times the limit, it's extremely dangerous to be on the road," Amormino said. "A little higher and it's not safe to be walking, let alone driving."
Keough was released from Central Men's Jail in Santa Ana at 1:13 a.m. on Sunday after posting bail of $10,000, according to the OCSD arrest logs.
Keough, appeared, along with his former Playboy centerfold wife and three teenage children, in the reality TV show "The Real Housewives of Orange County."
In the show's third season, Keough's wife, Jeana, announced the couple had separated.
From the late '70s to the mid '80s, Keough pitched for a number of Major League Baseball teams including the Oakland Athletics, the New York Yankees, The St. Louis Cardinals, the Chicago Cubs and the Houston Astros.
In 2005, Keough pleaded guilty to felony charges of driving under the influence of alcohol after he crashed his SUV into another SUV at a Rancho Santa Margarita red light, pushing the SUV into a man walking his bicycle across the street.
The man had to be hospitalized. Keough wandered away from the accident. His blood alcohol level was 2.5 times the legal limit more than three hours after sheriff's deputies tracked down the former Oakland pitcher in a nearby store, according to Amormino.
Keough was arrested in 2007 on charges he violated the terms of his parole and in January 2008 was sentenced to 180 days in jail.
