Nationals vice president and general manager Jim Bowden was charged with driving under the influence Sunday night in Miami Beach. Bowden was in Miami for the Nationals' three-game weekend series against the Florida Marlins. Neither Bowden nor club president and CEO Tony Tavares were available for comment, but each issued a statement Tuesday through the ballclub. "On Sunday evening in Miami Beach, Fla., I was arrested and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol," Bowden said in his statement. "I intend to plead not guilty at a future date in a Miami Dade court. I deeply regret any embarrassment that my arrest may cause the Washington Nationals and Major League Baseball. "On the advice of legal counsel, I will have no further comment regarding this incident until the court proceedings are complete."
