One of the customers at the table said that Cabrera had threatened him and the manager. Cabrera apparently claimed to have a gun, although no gun has been reported to have been in Cabrera’s possession.

Police say Cabrera repeatedly refused to cooperate, saying, “Do you know who I am, you don’t know anything about my problems.“Cabrera, who posted bond and was released Thursday morning, has encountered issues with alcohol before. In 2009, the morning before the Tigers lost the A.L. Central lead, Cabrera was released from jail after an alcohol-fueled fight with his wife.

Cabrera, who turns 28 in April, is coming off the best season of his career. In 2010, he hit .328 with 38 home runs, 126 RBI, and a 1.042 OPS.
