According to the Houston Police Department, the threats of death sent to Houston Astro Pitcher Lance McCullers Junior last month were seen back to a drunken sports bookie, who are located abroad.
The person was not identified, as the police said that the matter remains open on Monday while the allegations weigh. But investigators revealed that his suspect had lost betting on Astro’s game against Cincinnati Reds on 10 May and was “disappointed and unbalanced” when he had sent threats to McCullers via social media.
Police said the suspect used to apologize and asked that his apology could be given to McCler and his family.
The 31 -year -old McCler revealed that the man threatened to find and kill his children. Micular’s daughters are 5 and 1 year old.
“I think people are very emotional and people love Astro and Love Sports, but it is a bit difficult to deal with finding their children and threatening to kill them,” McCullers said at that time.
He said, “There have been many, many threats to me over many years, and I think one or two of other issues around baseball had really had to go to jail for such things,” he said. “But I think they are going to bring children into the equation, threatening to find them or the next time they publicly see us, they are going to kill my children … as it is difficult to hear as a father.”
McCullers’s second game was back after a two -year injury due to hand injuries. He recorded three hits and three runs on three hits and three walks to Cincinnati Reds.
Astro hired 24 -hour security for McCler and his family in view of dangers.
