Forward Alex Galchenyuk, whose recently signed contract was terminated by the Arizona Coyotes on Friday because of an arrest, had been spotted lying on the ground in a parking lot near a broken sign and made threats before and after he was taken into custody, according to a Scottsdale, Arizona, police report obtained by USA TODAY Sports.

Police were responding on July 9 to a report of a car hitting the curb, a sign and an SUV and saw a man on the ground that they later identified as the hockey player. An older man, later identified as Galchenyuk’s father, helped him off the ground and got into the drivers’ seat of a white BMW while Galchenyuk was in the passenger seat, police said.
