Milan Lucic released from police custody, disputes domestic violence charges
Over the weekend, some very serious allegations arose surrounding Milan Lucic of the Boston Bruins. Lucic was arrested this weekend after allegedly assaulting his wife, but was released from custody on Tuesday after pleading not guilty to his charges.
"According to a Boston Police Department report, Lucic appeared intoxicated when officers arrived at his North End apartment early Saturday after his wife reported that he tried to choke her. Brittany Lucic told the responding officers that her husband had pulled her hair, but said he did not try to strangle her. She declined an offer of medical treatment." - The Canadian Press
The incident that reportedly started the altercation was an accusation from Lucic, who believed that his wife had taken his cell phone and hid it from him. Obviously, there's a lot more to this story that we're all unaware of, but however it got to the point where it reportedly became physical, the police felt as though they had just cause to take Lucic into custody.
Per The Canadian Press report this morning, Lucic did not speak at his arraignment. Instead, a not guilty plea was submitted on his behalf by his legal representation. He was "released on personal recognizance". The veteran enforcer must also refrain from alcohol and any abuse of the victim.
Lucic remains on indefinite leave from the Bruins as this situation is sorted out. It's important to remember that a person is innocent until proven guilty, but if true, this is quite possibly a career-ender for Lucic.
Hoping and praying that he gets the help that he needs and that his wife is okay. The pre-trial will commence in mid January.
