According to multiple news sources, Sean Avery has been arrested after shoving a police officer at his L.A. home early Friday morning. Police responded to Avery’s complex after receiving noise complains from his neighbor at 1:00 AM.
Here is an except from TMZ which describes the incident in detail.
According to law enforcement sources, a neighbor called police to complain about the noise coming from Avery’s home. When police arrived at about 1:00 AM, we’re told Avery answered the door … then shoved a cop and slammed the door behind him.
Police then knocked again, and we’re told Avery came to his senses and opened up. According to law enforcement … Avery was extremely cooperative after that, but was still booked for battery on a peace officer.
Avery was arrested and charged with battery of a police officer. While Avery’s battery charge was a misdemeanor, he is currently being held in a Hollywood jail with his bail set at $20,000.
This is horrible news and still unacceptable for anyone to place their hands on law enforcement officers. It should be interesting to see how the Rangers handle this situation.
