MLB's Only Kneeler Had an Ugly Meltdown as Police Arrested Him
[ConservativeTribune] Bruce Maxwell made quite a name for himself in September when he became the first MLB player to kneel during the national anthem prior to a game.Since then, he’s garnered quite a bit of attention — but not for anything positive. Last month, Maxwell, 26, claimed a pro-Trump restaurant employee refused to serve him because of his kneeling. However, later reports indicated Maxwell may have lied about the encounter. The sever in the incident told Fox News that Maxwell made up the entire story. As if that was not enough negative attention for Maxwell, the catcher allegedly pointed a gun in the face of a woman delivering an order for Geno’s Pizza and Cheesesteaks when she brought the order to his home. According to the police report, Maxwell opened the door and pointed a gun at the woman’s face on Oct. 28. She asked if he was “Bruce,” for whom the order was placed. Maxwell told her not to worry about the gun and eventually put the gun down and took the pizza. When the woman made it back to her car, she called the police. Maxwell reportedly had a meltdown after being placed in cuffs. He began yelling and, according to TMZ, “began making anti-police statements and utilized excessive profanity.” One officer reportedly said Maxwell contradicted his version of the events that transpired over the evening. Maxwell was booked on suspicion of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and disorderly conduct, according to AZCentral. The catcher was reportedly bailed out of jail by Monday morning.
