Report: Former MLB slugger Scott Spiezio tased by cops in Illinois

We’ve learned … cops were called to Spiezio’s apartment complex in Ottawa, Illinois around 2:30 AM on Tuesday … after his [girlfriend] called 911 and reported that Scott punched out a neighbor’s window. When cops arrived to the scene, Scott was gone — so police called for K-9 backup to track down the 42-year-old. A few hours later, officials located Spiezio hiding behind a building — and attempted to take him into custody. Law enforcement sources tell us Spiezio resisted — and cops ultimately had to use a taser to take him down.
