    Koby Clemens, you are under arrest

    Clemens’ son among prospects arrested

    CHICAGO — Koby Clemens, the son of seven-time Cy Young Award winner Roger Clemens, was among three Astros prospects arrested early Sunday morning following a 2 a.m. disturbance at a Salem, Va., parking lot.

    Clemens, Mark Ori and Jimmy Goethals were to appear in court this morning in Salem, said Astros assistant general manager Ricky Bennett, who confirmed the arrests. The Roanoke (Va.) Times reported Clemens and Ori were charged with disorderly conduct and Goethals with assault and battery.

    All three spent the night in the Roanoke County-Salem jail before being released, Bennett said.

    “We’re still trying to gather some information,” Bennett said. “We’re scheduled to have a court appearance tomorrow morning, and at that point, based on the feedback we get, the information we get, we’ll make a decision on what type of punishment will be issued.”

    None of the three players played in Sunday night’s 9-7 loss to Lynchburg, and they won’t be in the lineup today when Salem ends its season.

    “This type of behavior is not acceptable in our organization,” Bennett said.

    “I’ve talked to all three players this morning and told them some type of discipline will be imposed when we get the information and we are through with the process. I’ll sit down with each player and make a decision on what type of discipline will be imposed.”

    Clemens, 21, was hitting .269 with 29 doubles and 52 RBIs this season, his first as a catcher in the organization that selected him in the eighth round of the 2005 draft out of Memorial High School.

    Ori, 25, is hitting .304 with 11 home runs and 89 RBIs, and Goethals, 26, is a backup catcher.

    Roger Clemens, who hasn’t played this season, is currently under FBI investigation whether he lied at the Feb. 13 hearing before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee when he claimed former trainer Brian McNamee never injected him with steroids or human grown hormone.
