Tigers' Delmon Young Trying to Settle Hate-Crime Case

NEW YORK (AP) - A defense lawyer says he's trying to work out a deal with prosecutors in Detroit Tigers outfielder Delmon Young's hate-crime harassment case in New York City.

Young was briefly in a Manhattan court Thursday for an update on the misdemeanor case.

He's accused of yelling anti-Jewish epithets at a group of tourists, tussling with them and tackling one to the ground in April.

The Tigers were in New York to play the Yankees.

Defense lawyer Daniel Ollen (OH'-lehn) says he and prosecutors are discussing a potential "disposition that's acceptable to both parties."

Prosecutors say only that they they're not making any offer at the moment.

Young has said he regrets what happened. He's free on $5,000 bond and due back in court Nov. 7 - after the World Series.
