PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. -- Former Boston Red Sox reliever Jeff Reardon was arrested on charges he robbed a jewelry store in Florida.
Reardon, 50, a native of Dalton, Mass., walked into Hamilton Jewelers at the Gardens Mall about 11:50 a.m. yesterday and handed an employee a note that said he had a gun and the store was being robbed, according to the Palm Beach Gardens Police Department.
