One player in Major League Baseball (MLB) has knelt during the national anthem, continuing the controversy kicked off in the NFL last year—but now, that same player is making headlines for a new reason.

Bruce Maxwell, catcher for the Oakland Athletics, has been arrested on a gun charge, Fox News reported.

The catcher allegedly pointed a gun at a food delivery woman in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Scottsdale police said that officers were called to Maxwell’s home on Saturday, Oct. 28, after reports about a person with a gun.
