Yahoo Sports.com reports that the charge against Jarret Stoll and his cocaine possession has been lessened from a felony to two misdemeanors.
As you probably recall, Stoll was arrested in Las Vegas in late April of this year. He was thought to have cocaine in his possession and earlier this week he was charged with just that.
Lisa Dillman of the Los Angeles Times reported on the lessening on the charges first. Yahoo Sports.com writes the following:
“The misdemeanors are “1) provoking commission of breach of peace and 2) trespass. 120 days to complete 32 hrs of community service.” – via Katie Strang of ESPN.com.
Strang notes, Stoll’s community service will be with the Salvation Army and organizing a hockey program for Vegas-area at-risk youths.
“Now that the case has been resolved I am committed to meeting all of my obligations to the Court and am grateful for the chance to offer guidance and share positive life lessons to kids as part of the resolution of this matter,” Stoll said in a statement. “My focus remains on hockey and I am looking forward to getting back on the ice next season.”
As Rich Hammond of the Orange County Register tweets, this won’t impact any immigration issues with Stoll – who is Canadian. “
Stoll will become an unrestricted free agent on July 1st, and if teams are interested in him, they will be able to sign him up.
