Maxwell issued a statement on his blog and social media accounts stating that his resignation was a result of a bad decision he made against his better judgment.
"Boys & Girls Club requires a leader of high-integrity and moral character. I violated that standard, and as a result, it is best for the Club and those it serves for me to resign," Maxwell said in the statement. "I want to make it clear that my actions did not include minors."
There is little known about what the "bad decision" was.
“We have served the community for almost 80 years. During that time the health, character and academics of our Club members has been our priority. These remain our priorities,” said Juli Metzger, president of the board of directors, in a press release.
According to the press release, the board will "work with Boys & Girls Club of America to search for a full-time replacement."
Maxwell, who is a Ball State alumnus, has held the position as the executive director since 2013 and is also a part of the Indiana National Guard. He has previously worked at several community centers and businesses in Muncie.
