Baseball star Brett reports harassment
Baseball Hall of Famer George Brett reported to Lawrence Police during the weekend that someone was harassing him by phone from an apartment in Lawrence.
Brett, 53, the legendary former third baseman for the Kansas City Royals, told police someone had called him several times between 5 p.m. Friday and 1:40 a.m. Saturday and made “inappropriate comments.”
Police wouldn’t go into detail about the nature of the calls but said they were tracked to a 22-year-old Lawrence man calling from an apartment in the 1000 block of Ohio Street. His explanation, police said, was that someone from Brett’s home had been calling him.
Police said the Lawrence man agreed not to make any more calls and was not ticketed or arrested.
