Former Winnipeg Jet Evander Kane was arrested in Buffalo, New York Friday morning after turning himself in to police.
The arrest stems from an incident at a Buffalo bar in June.
24-year-old Kane allegedly got into it with a bouncer and several women at the Bottoms Up bar after 3 AM on June 24th.
Kane allegedly yanked one of the women by the hair and grabbed her throat while pushing her into his car. The bouncer tried to break it up and Kane put his hands on him too. The entire incident was reportedly captured on security video.
Buffalo Police said Kane is charged with one misdemeanor count of criminal trespass and four counts of non-criminal harassment and one count of non-criminal disorderly conduct.
“Without a doubt, he plans to defend himself against these charges,” Paul Cambria, Kane’s attorney said. He added that he does not believe the charges should impact Kane’s future with the Buffalo Sabres.
