Elijah Dukes allegedly threatens to kill his wife and her kids

TAMPA - In late April, Tampa Bay Devil Rays outfielder Elijah Dukes barged into his wife's middle school classroom at lunchtime. He was so irate that she ran to get the principal and a deputy, who banned Dukes from the property, records show. His wife, who said she fears for her life, sought a restraining order and told the court it was the latest in a string of outbursts by the 22-year-old rookie player.

Dukes' wife, NiShea Gilbert, 26, a teacher at Beth Shields Middle School in Ruskin, told the court in another filing Thursday that her husband threatened to kill her and sent a photo of a handgun to her cell phone. She played the St. Petersburg Times a voice mail message she said was from Dukes:

"You dead, dawg," says an angry voice. "I ain't even bulls-------. Your kids, too."

Five kids w/ 4 different women

Nice

This is a case where an NFL type disciplinarian commissioner would come in handy

The team needs to hand out a suspension and let the legal process work itself out.

If Dukes ever gets around to focusing on his talent and producing the way God equipped him to do, they might have to erect a prison wing at Cooperstown.

That would be a proud, proud moment for American jurisprudence.

I am amazed by this guy. Why won't he wear a condom?

Death threats tend to be a bad thing in most circles as well, but that's just me.

Actually, I think he would make a good Bengal.

Somebody should ask him his opinion on dog fighting, maybe the Redskins have a place for him as well.
