The U.S. Air Force has apologized to Derek Jeter after an active-duty member posted a photo on Facebook of a citation issued to the retired Yankees shortstop for boating in a restricted area near MacDill Air Force Base on Monday.

Jeter, who lives on Tampa's Davis Island, was stopped by Air Force security forces on July 4 and ticketed $250 plus a $30 processing fee.

The issue came to light because of the Facebook post.
