This past summer, newly signed Arizona Coyotes forward Alex Galchenyuk was arrested, and the reports after it told the story of a very disturbed person making heinous threats to officers while impaired.

Bodycam footage of the Alex Galchenyuk incident released

Now, footage of the event has been released, and it's now safe to say the reports were accurate, as Galchenyuk was impaired and was hurling vile threats towards everyone involved, especially the officers.
Newly released body camera footage taken by responding Scottsdale Police officers show the interaction they had with Alex Galchenyuk after he and his dad were pulled over by officers.
Given the newly released footage, it wouldn't come as a shock if we didn't see him in the NHL for a long time, as he agreed to check into the player assistance program not long after this even before signing overseas.
Regardless, we hope that he's getting the help he needs, because this type of action is absolutely disgusting, and the officers to their credit maintained their cool and subdued the NHL veteran even in the face of these actions.
