New Details Emerge In Lucic Arrest And Legal Battle
According to NHL insider Frank Serravalli, Lucic has been arrested on one count of assault and battery after he allegedly threatened his wife and grabbed her by the neck after he lost his cell phone.
Lucic was reportedly intoxicated when police arrived but he denied the allegations made against him. Following his arrest, Lucic announced that he had entered the NHL's player assistance program.
