ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) -A hearing on New York Yankees executive Steve Swindal’s driving under the influence charge has again been postponed.
Pinellas County (Fla.) court spokesman Ron Stuart said a new date for the routine status hearing, originally scheduled for Thursday, was not immediately available.
The 52-year-old Swindal, who had been designated as George Steinbrenner’s successor as head of the Yankees, was arrested by St. Petersburg police on Feb. 15 and charged with the misdemeanor. Police said he was weaving and driving 61 mph in a 35 mph zone when he was pulled over. Swindal has pleaded not guilty.
He is also facing a divorce filing from his wife of 23 years, Jennifer Lynn Steinbrenner Swindal. The pending divorce makes it unlikely Swindal will head the team.
