The apple doesn't fall far from the tree...

The 19-year-old son of former baseball star Dwight Gooden was arrested for violating probation and faced additional charges of having marijuana and bullets in his car, police said.

Dwight Eugene Gooden Jr. was being held Monday without bond. A jail spokeswoman didn't know if he had an attorney.

Gooden Jr. was already wanted on an outstanding warrant of violating probation from a 2004 crack cocaine conviction. He was jailed early Sunday after officers found him outside a downtown Tampa club with 16 grams of marijuana and .44-caliber ammunition in his car, police spokesman Joe Durkin said.

He was charged with possession of marijuana, being a felon in possession of ammunition and violating probation.

Guess the apple didn't fall too far...
