Breaking News: Blackhawks’ Patrick Kane arrested
Written by The Go-To-Man Mattie T. on August 9, 2009
The hometown kid has gotten himself into some big trouble.
20-year old Chicago Blackhawks’ superstar right wing Patrick Kane has been arrested in his hometown of Buffalo, NY for assaulting a cab driver & failing to pay his fare.
A 21-year old James Kane (unsure of relation between two) was also arrested, as both men were arrested at approximately 5 a.m. this morning.
The argument apparently started after the Kanes’ cabfare came to $13.80, and became upset since the cab driver did not have the correct change to give them after being handed $15.
The Kanes punched the cabbie in the face & head, grabbed him by the throat & broke his glasses during the altercation.
Both men are being charged with 2nd-degree robbery, 4th degree criminal mischief & theft of services.
Just 3 days before the arrest, Kane was at Timothy J. Burvid Ice Rink alongside Buffalo mayor Byron W. Brown to help support funding to improve the ice rink along with other facilities.
The NHL & Chicago Blackhawks have yet to comment on Kane’s arrest.
