Wander Franco, the Tampa Bay Rays shortstop currently facing trial in a sexual abuse case, was granted supervised release on Wednesday following his arrest for illegally carrying a gun in his vehicle during an altercation in a parking lot in the Dominican Republic.
A Dominican judge ruled that Franco must report to court once a month while under investigation for possessing the firearm, which was registered under his uncle's name. The incident occurred during an argument at a San Juan de la Maguana apartment complex parking lot, resulting in Franco's arrest along with two other individuals. Police seized two firearms during the confrontation.
