Lenny Dykstra has had a rough couple of days to say the least. On Wednesday, Dysktra was charged with embezzling from a bankruptcy estate, a charge that carries a jail sentence of up to five years. Dykstra, who filed for bankruptcy in 2009, was caught allegedly selling off assets that he claimed not to have.

The items allegedly ranged from sports memorabilia to a $50,000 sink. At one point, he sold "a truckload of furnishing and fixtures" for cash at a consignment store, according to a statement from the U.S. attorney’s office.

On Thursday, Dykstra was arrested for grand theft on the suspicion that he was trying to buy a stolen car. That arrest was unrelated to the embezzlement charge from the previous day.
