Ex-Yankee Jim Leyritz was to be released from a Florida jail Tuesday night after getting a stern warning from a judge not to touch alcohol.
Leyritz, awaiting trial for killing a Florida mom in an alleged drunken 2007 car crash, appeared in Broward County Criminal Court wearing handcuffs, leg shackles and a tan jail jump suit.
He had been in jail since Friday for violating the conditions of his bail by attempting to drive after drinking.
Leyritz claimed he was unaware that he was not allowed to drink when Judge Marc Gold issued a warrant for his arrest last week. But Gold made it clear.
"My order that he must not use alcohol is still in effect," he said.
