Oh the irony...

Bruce Maxwell, the only Major League Baseball player to kneel during the national anthem this season, has been arrested on a gun charge.

The Oakland Athletics catcher allegedly pointed a gun at a female food delivery person in Scottsdale, Ariz.

Scottsdale police said officers went to Maxwell's home Saturday night after getting a call about a person with a gun. Maxwell was booked on charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and disorderly conduct.

Police said Maxwell was held in custody pending an initial appearance.

TMZ Sports first reported the arrest.

Maxwell, 26, hit .237 with three home runs and 22 RBIs in 76 games this season. He was projected to be Oakland's starting catcher next year.

Last week, Maxwell claimed during a visit to his hometown of Huntsville, Ala., that he was refused service at a restaurant because of his protest. But a waiter told Fox News that Maxwell was “outright lying,” about what happened.

“I didn’t even know who Bruce Maxwell was,” waiter Matt Henry said.

Fox News' Hollie McKay and the Associated Press contributed to this story.

No doubt the "female delivery person" complained about having a gun pointed at her because Maxwell is black, or because he knelt for the National Anthem, or both. And no doubt he was arrested for the same reason(s).

Gee, I am so surprised!

Not really, just more BS from over indulged and over rated assholes who should leave this country and try living elsewhere.

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

What a loser.

Wait for the conspiracy theories to come.


He was picked on, b/c he kneeled.

Over rated? He hit .237 with 22 rbi's!

Think you're missing Elk's point. All of these pro sports players are overrated, regardless of whether they are good at what they do.

Definition of overrated: have a higher opinion of (someone or something) than is deserved: If they weren't any good at Foosball, stick ball, or some other kids game, they would be absolutely irrelevant. Sure, they have a talent, but it's practical application in the real world is near zero.

Looks like the Arizona prison baseball league just got themselves a primo catcher...

Ya can't make this shit up, can ya

It's OK, he'll get to do a lotta catching in prison.

Thug will be thug.

Happy to hear this! Ag assault with a gun...that’s a felony folks, with a gun spec! In most states that’s mandatory jail time unless he is able to plea it down....let’s hope he gets time.

Ole Bruce did the management of the Oakland A'small a huge favor. Now they don't have to find a way to lose his ass in the minors over his kneeling BS. And for the record, I've watched him play and he isn't anything special. There are a dozen minor league catchers in 'competitive' organizations waiting their turn for the show. Bruce is so stupid he wrecked his one and likely only shot.

Just another tool by the Man to keep a brother down!

And how do you get to the point that you point a gun at a girl delivering food?
Did he think paying = robbery?

I wouldn't get too exvited. I've personally charged this twice this year and it was dismissed both times because the victim couldn't be bothered to show up for court.
