Bond Reinstated For Leyritz


((HT: WSVN))

A South Florida judge has reinstated the bond of former major leaguer Jim Leyritz ((pictured, thanks WSVN-TV/Broward County Sheriff's Office)), who was arrested earlier this month for domestic battery.

Broward Circuit Judge Marc Gold approved Leyritz's release Monday. Leyritz has been jailed since he was charged with domestic battery against his ex-wife on July 2. The charge was considered a violation of his bond conditions.

Leyritz must now post a $1,000 bond for the domestic battery charge and will move into a house in Weston. If he moves back to his old home, which he was sharing with his ex-wife, he must inform the court. The divorced couple was also ordered to only communicate through their lawyers.

The 45-year-old Leyritz is awaiting a DUI manslaughter trial for a 2007 crash that killed a woman.
