A’s Bruce Maxwell was drinking before his arrest, cops say
Police say A’s catcher Bruce Maxwell showed signs of intoxication when he was arrested following accusations that he pointed a handgun at the head of a woman in Scottsdale, Ariz., who had delivered food to his home.
Court records released Monday provide more details on his arrest, but don’t offer an explanation for why he allegedly pointed the gun at the driver. Scottsdale police declined to comment on why Maxwell acted as he did when he answered the door Saturday evening.
The documents show Maxwell denied pointing a gun at the driver.
The court documents say once the driver explained why she was there, Maxwell lowered the gun.
