Alex Galchenyuk Resolves Legal Issue with Favorable Plea Deal
NHL player Alex Galchenyuk has found a *somewhat* positive resolution to his legal predicament. Following his July arrest on six charges, Galchenyuk accepted a plea deal that led to five charges being dropped. He pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor threatening charge.
"According to sentencing documents, five of the charges against Alex Galchenyuk were dismissed; he pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor threatening charge.
According to those documents, Galchenyuk was sentenced to 30 days of jail time, one of which counts as time served and 27 of which will be suspended upon successful completion of an alcohol recovery program and 12 months without consuming/possessing alcohol.
Last month, Galchenyuk publicly apologized and announced that he was entering the NHL/NHLPA player assistance program"
The deal included a 30-day jail sentence, with one day served and 27 days suspended upon completion of an alcohol recovery program and a year of alcohol abstinence.
