Mike Norris, the former pitcher for the Oakland A’s, will be allowed to remain on a drug-diversion program for at least another 90 days after a recent arrest for drunken driving. A blood test after that arrest showed cocaine in his blood.
A judge in Alameda County Superior Court ordered Norris to return to court April 24 for a hearing to determine whether he should be pulled from the program or be subjected to felony drug charges.
