LOS ANGELES (AP) — Former New York Mets outfielder Lenny Dykstra is appearing in a Southern California courtroom Monday.
He’s seeking to withdraw his no-contest plea on charges of grand theft auto and providing a false financial statement.
If a judge denies his motion, the 49-year-old Dykstra could be sentenced to up to four years in state prison as part of a plea deal.
Dykstra and two co-defendants are accused of trying to lease and then sell high-end cars from several car dealerships by claiming credit through a phony business.
