Former Cincinnati Reds pitcher Tom Browning has been arrested and charged with not paying child support, according to jail records uncovered by the Associated Press.
Browning, best known for throwing a perfect game in 1988 and currently a Minor League pitching coach in the Reds organization, was arrested Friday and was being held on $99,008.36 bail, according to the AP.
Browning, a 1982 selection by the Reds in the First-Year Player Draft, made his Major League debut in September 1984 and went 123-90 with a 3.94 ERA in 12 years in the big leagues.
The 48-year-old has been coaching in the organization since 2006, when he was invited to Reds Spring Training camp as a special instructor.
