Dodgers infielder Justin Sellers was reportedly arrested in Sacramento, Calif., on Saturday for what appears to be a reckless driving incident.

According to KCRA in Sacramento, Sellers was allegedly doing "wheelies" on his motorcycle and initially "took off" when police attempted to pull him over. KCRA reports there was a "short chase" before Sellers turned himself in.

Police "have had repeated reports of a motorcyclist driving recklessly in the same neighborhood for the past month," according to the report.

Sellers, 26, has appeared in 55 games the past two seasons for the Dodgers. He hit .205/.286/.386 with a homer, two RBI and six runs in 19 games last season.

Also, funnily enough, we nominated Sellers for a 2012 Eye on Baseball Bloggie, and it was in the category of "best sacrifice of body."
