Long time readers know I enjoy the sass and sarcasm but as this is a VERY serious topic I will pass along without editorial comments.
Acting General Manager Zack Scott is facing driving while intoxicated charges after he was busted dozing in his car in Westchester County — down the block from the police station, The Post has learned.
Scott, 44, was nabbed in White Plains at 4:17 a.m. Tuesday when cops caught him snoozing in a 2018 Toyota on South Lexington Avenue near the federal courthouse and police headquarters, the city’s Police Capt. James Spencer said Wednesday.

“We take this matter very seriously,” the team said. “Zack will not be traveling with the team for our upcoming road trip while we learn more and determine next steps.
Hours before he was busted, Scott was at Mets owner Steve Cohen’s home for a team fundraiser with other players, sources told The Post.
Jeff Passan tweeted: As @Joelsherman1 reported, the fundraiser at Steve Cohen’s house ended sometime around 8:30 p.m. or 9 p.m. The DUI arrest occurred about 7 hours after that.
The Mets tweeted: We were surprised and deeply disappointed to learn this morning about an alleged DUI involving Zack Scott. We take this matter very seriously. Zack will not be traveling with the team for our upcoming road trip while we learn more and determine next steps.
