Tampa, Florida — New York Yankees rising star Jasson Dominguez is facing unexpected legal trouble off the field after a group of his neighbors filed a lawsuit claiming the young outfielder caused a loud and chaotic disturbance in the middle of the night by revving the engine of his Lamborghini Huracán while allegedly under the influence of alcohol.
According to the complaint filed early this morning in Hillsborough County, Dominguez allegedly “tested” the newly modified exhaust system of his luxury sports car at 2:04 a.m., unleashing deafening roars that shook the quiet, upscale villa community where he resides during the offseason.
One furious neighbor told reporters:
“It felt like an earthquake. My wife jumped out of bed, our baby started crying, and even our dog ran under the table. That was no casual engine noise — it was a full-blown assault on the peace.”
Security footage shared anonymously shows Dominguez outside his home, revving the car multiple times with what appears to be a drink in his hand. Laughter and shouting from nearby friends can be heard in the background. At one point, someone off-camera yells,
“Let the beast roar!”
to which Dominguez replies,
“She needs to breathe!” — before revving the car even louder.
According to the lawsuit, seven residents have joined together to file charges for public nuisance, sleep disruption, and emotional distress. The homeowners association is also said to be reviewing the incident for potential violations of community rules.
The Yankees organization has not yet commented publicly, but a source within the team noted they are “aware of the situation and gathering more information before issuing a statement.”
Fans on social media reacted swiftly, with the hashtag #LamboGate trending in parts of New York and Florida.
Some fans were amused:
“Give the guy a break. He’s young, rich, and excited about his Lambo. Let him live!”
But others were far more critical:
“If he wants to act like a superstar, he better learn how to act like a grown-up first.”
Dominguez, nicknamed “The Martian” for his rare talent and off-the-charts athleticism, is expected to return to full baseball activity soon after recovering from injury. However, this off-field drama could cast a shadow on his otherwise bright trajectory if not handled carefully.
Legal experts say Dominguez could avoid serious consequences if a quick settlement is reached, but the damage to his image among neighbors — and possibly Yankees brass — may linger.
