Report: Claude Giroux arrested in Ottawa for incident involving a police officer
Philadelphia Flyers superstar Claude Giroux was arrested in Ottawa Tuesday, following an alleged incident involving a police officer, according to the Ottawa Sun.
Giroux reportedly "grabbed the buttocks" of a male officer outside The Great Canadian Cabin, a bar located in the Byward Market.
Since no charges have been leveled against Giroux at this time, Ottawa police have refused to comment on the situation. The Flyers, like the police, aren't speaking on the matter either.
"We are aware of reports surrounding Claude Giroux. Until we have more information, we will withhold making any further comment." -Hextall
