New York Rangers forward Sean Avery was arrested at his home early Friday morning for battery on a police officer in Hollywood Hills, California.
Bail was set at $20,000, and the Associated Press reports that Avery remained in jail as of Friday morning.
According to NBC New York, Avery was having a party at his home when noise complaints from neighbours twice brought police to investigate.
On the officers' second visit, the report said that Avery allegedly argued with police and pushed an officer out of the way to go back inside his house.
The report added that Avery closed the door and refused to speak to officers. After additional police were called to the scene, Avery eventually did come out and co-operated and was arrested for battery of a police officer.
A Rangers spokesperson said that they will discuss the matter with Avery and have no further comment at this time.
The NHL is also investigating the situation, but isn't commenting at this time.

He's a good solid 3rd/4th liner who just needs to use the skill he has more.

Well I fundamentally agree with pushing police out of the way, so I guess I'll close my eyes on this one...

Who cares about this story. He will use his money to buy a get out of jail card. Then he will be given a fine/probation. The NHL will probably suspend him for like 5 games. YEAHHHHHH justice is served.
