BASEBALL legend Lenny Dykstra has been busted for drugs and for his role in an elaborate car theft scheme, cops say.
The three time All Star nicknamed "Nails" during his career is accused of being part a three man team who tried to lease high-end cars from dealers this year by providing phony information and claiming credit through a fake business called Home Free Systems. Cops also found cocaine, Ecstasy and the synthetic human growth hormone Somatropin at his San Fernando Valley home.
It's just the latest in a string of brushes with the law for the one time
World Series winner, as he was charged with more than a dozen federal counts, including bankruptcy fraud, just last month.
When he filed for bankruptcy two years ago, claiming he owed more than $31 million and had only $50,000 in assets.
But Federal prosecutors contend that he hid, sold or destroyed more than $400,000 worth of items from the $18.5 million mansion without permission of a bankruptcy trustee.
He faces a maximum sentence of up to 80 years in prison if convicted in that case.
But the 48-year-old who has now been charged with 25 misdemeanor and felony counts of grand theft auto, attempted grand theft auto, identity theft and other crimes, said Jane Robison, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County district attorney's office.
He faces up to 12 years in state prison if convicted.
He was jailed on $500,000 bail with a bail-review hearing set for Friday and Robison said Dykstra had not obtained a lawyer to represent him in the case.
Dykstra was bullish about the charges however, telling the New York Daily News: "Of course I'm not guilty. The car got stolen alright — stolen by them. I don't have it anymore. It's gone like my computer, my phone, my clothes."

CRYBABY LENNY DYKSTRA VOWS: 'I WILL WIN BIG!'
| STUPID LENNY |
Lenny tells "the people of the great City of New York:
What I have somehow lived through the past 2½ years, and continue to live through now, makes me fully understand that God would never make someone endure what I have endured unless there was a reason for it. That being said, I was wrong when I thought God put me on this earth to entertain people at Shea Stadium. (Remember? I was pretty good at that.)
And of course, the sad sack goes on for hundreds of words more in what is by turns masturbation, self-pity and the ridiculous bravado he was known for in his playing days. But ultimately, Lenny K. says he will fight til the bitter end. Oh, and Charlie Sheen bailed him out of jail. Nuff said.
We can't resist this: Over the last two years, they have basically stolen everything from me -- my family, my kids, my homes, my cars, my businesses, my reputation, my money, my life. But what they can never steal is my HEART and my FIGHT -- and at the end of the day, I will win and I will win big!
