Lenny Dykstra, the former Major League Baseball player accused of removing, destroying and selling property from his $18.5 million mansion after filing for bankruptcy in 2009, was charged with fraud in an indictment.

Dykstra, 48, a former Philadelphia Phillies and New York Mets outfielder, looted his Sherwood Estates mansion in Thousand Oaks, California, lied to the bankruptcy trustee about who stripped it, and denied selling items owned by the bankruptcy estate, according to the grand jury indictment issued yesterday.
