Giants outfielder Cameron Maybin was arrested for driving under the influence in Scottsdale, Arizona last week, according to multiple reports.
Scottsdale PD has not yet returned calls for confirmation.
Jonathan Roy, managing editor of Fox 10, was the first to report the news.

Arizona Telemundo reported the same information.
Phoenix’s KTAR news cited the following details from the arrest:
“According to the police report, Maybin was stopped by police around 2 a.m. after he was observed driving approximately 60 mph in a 40 mph zone and swerving.
When he was pulled over, authorities observed signs of impairment, including bloodshot and water eyes and smell of alcohol, with Maybin.
Maybin told police he was at Oceans 44 near Scottsdale Road and Goldwater Boulevard, where he had five “pretty big” glasses of wine, and was heading to meet his agent at a hotel.
He was arrested after he failed several walking tests. At the time of the arrest, Maybin had a blood alcohol content of .142 percent, nearly twice the legal limit.”
Maybin started a Cactus League game about 35 hours after his arrest.
“We are aware of and monitoring the situation,” the Giants said in a statement. “We do not have any further comment at this time.”
The Giants acquired Maybin on Feb. 16 as a non-roster camp invitee for $1.75 million. The 31-year-old outfielder has played for nine teams throughout a 12-year MLB career. He last played with Miami and Seattle in 2018.
Maybin’s arrest continues San Francisco’s treacherous offseason. Last week, Giants CEO Larry Baer was filmed in a physical altercation with his wife. On Monday, Baer announced he would take “personal time” away from the team.
