We know a little more about the reasons that led to the arrest of Alex Galchenyuk by the Scottsdale police last Sunday. The former hope of the Canadian would have threatened a police officer to “chop” him and to cut the kidneys of the members of his family.
Katie Strang of The Athletic reported on Thursday that Alex Galchenyuk was arrested on Sunday for, among other charges, hit and run on private property, disturbing public order, resisting arrest and uttering threats.
An Arizona news outlet, 12News, obtained a copy of the police report on Friday. This indicates that the mood of the hockey player would have changed radically during his interactions with the police. The 29-year-old athlete, who allegedly showed signs of impaired faculties, allegedly made numerous violent threats towards one of the police officers. He would have said in particular that he was going to “end his lineage”.
“One call and you’re dead,” he added.
A police officer claimed that Galchenyuk allegedly swore racial slurs at him.
Also according to the police report, Galchenyuk’s father, present at the scene, reportedly mentioned that he had never seen his son act so aggressively before.
Recall that the 3e Total picks in 2012 was jailed Sunday night, before being released and charged the following day. The Arizona Coyotes abruptly terminated his contract on Thursday, just 12 days after signing it.
