Zack Scott, the former acting general manager for the New York Mets, was found not guilty Thursday morning in a DWI case that had led to his firing in late 2021 after a tenure of less than one year.

Scott reportedly was ordered by the judge in the case to pay two fines for traffic violations.

In a statement issued after the verdict in a Westchester County court, where he went on trial last month, Zack said, “I am thankful for today’s verdict.”

“Nonetheless, I regret choices I made on August 31, resulting in circumstances that led to my arrest,” Zack said. “Professionally, I’m grateful to [team president] Sandy Alderson for the opportunity to lead baseball operations for the Mets and wish my former teammates nothing but the best going forward.”
