"Atlanta Braves pitcher Derek Lowe was arrested overnight for driving under the influence.

The 37-year-old pitcher was taken to the Atlanta city jail.

Georgia State Patrol spokesman Gordy Wright told the AJC that Lowe was stopped around 10 p.m. on Peachtree Road at Rumson Road.

The trooper "detected a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage" and gave Lowe a field sobriety test, Wright said. Lowe refused to take a state-administered alcohol test, he said.

Wright said Lowe was also charged with reckless driving and failure to maintain lane."
