A’s Bruce Maxwell may have resolution to legal issues before spring training
A’s catcher Bruce Maxwell is moving closer to a possible resolution to his legal troubles before Oakland’s pitchers and catchers report to spring training Feb. 14.
The Chronicle has learned that Maxwell has a settlement conference scheduled for Feb. 12 in Phoenix, which means the state is willing to discuss a plea deal for the 27-year-old. Maxwell was indicted by a grand jury Nov. 7 on charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and disorderly conduct after allegedly pointing a gun at a food-delivery person on Oct. 28 in Scottsdale, Ariz.
His trial date, initially set for April 10, has been rescheduled for Aug. 9 should the sides be unable to come to a resolution before then.
