Neon_Matrix Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 So once again a hockey player has gotten in trouble with the law, and no, it is no Ray Emery (this time). Montreal player's Ryan O'Byrne and forward Tom Kostopoulos were both arrested outside a Tampa Bay night club, the former being charged with stealing a women's purse while the later for resisting an officer. It will be interesting to see what the club does to punish these two for that action. It is sad when professional athletes get in trouble with the law... but this is just kind of messed up. http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=229398&hubname=The Tampa Tribune is reporting that Montreal Canadiens defensemen Ryan O'Byrne and forward Tom Kostopoulos were arrested outside of Tampa nightclub early Monday morning. O'Byrne is accused of stealing a women's purse, while Kostopoulos is accused of resisting an officer. The incident began when a woman notified the bar's security officers that her purse was missing. The security officers noticed O'Byrne holding the purse and the women's cellphone outside the bar. According to the report, O'Byrne told the officers that the purse belonged to his girlfriend, but police determined it belonged to the woman. "Several associates, who were identified as National Hockey League players/members, crowded around the officers and police car," the police report states. "They were told numerous times to get away from the police car and not to interfere." O'Byrne was charged with grand theft and Kostopoulos was charged with resisting the officers. O'Byrne's bail was set at $2,000 and Kostopoulos' was set at $500 - both have been released. The Canadiens are scheduled to play the Tampa Bay Lightning Tuesday night.

TFoA Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Hold on, time-out...A professional athlete...STEALING?! WHAT THE HELL?! I mean, I've heard of athletes resisting arrest, sadly that's nothing new, but a professional athlete, making a very good amount of money, is allegedly a thief? That is the most backwards crime I've seen committed in a while. That makes no sense at all. That's just stupidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go look up any thread that has to do with violence/crime in the NHL, and Jigga makes at least one post about it (with me piggybacking on one occasion. ).
