In what may be a precedent setting situation, a player for the Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees of the Central Hockey League was waived just three days after being arrested for allegedly urinating in a popular Arizona sports bar.
Not on the bathroom floor, not outside the bar in an alleyway, but rather right in the bar itself, in the middle of the floor (allegedly), like an animal…or a very drunk hockey player named Ryan McLeod.
Now the Killer Bees aren’t confirming that McLeod was waived because of his being arrested for public urination, but the timing pretty well confirms it without actually, you know, confirming it.
I’m crossing my legs here, The Monitor…
McLeod played Wednesday night and the teams did not have a game on Thursday.
That night, McLeod and teammate Brett Clouthier found themselves at Tailgaters Sports Grill, a sports bar near the Hampton Inn where the team had stayed during the road trip.
Two men who matched the players’ descriptions given by restaurant staff had abruptly left after McLeod allegedly stood up next to the bar and began urinating, a Prescott Valley Police Department case narrative states.
Police identified Clouthier, whose name was on a receipt left at nearby Tailgaters Sports Grill, and another man known only as “Ryan,” an employee mopping urine at the bar told police. She told the officer that they were staying at the nearby Hampton Inn.
That’s just nasty. Don’t know if Tailgaters Sports Grill has an employee of the month award, but if they do, they best be giving it to the poor sap who had to mop up McLeod’s puddle of unwanted piss.
Details of the former Killer Bees center’s arrest is fairly anticlimactic, save for one hilarious detail…
Officers arrested McLeod as he stepped out of the motel, the narrative states. Clouthier was not arrested.
The officer, who noted both players “appeared to be intoxicated,” asked each man for their identification as they walked toward a taxi parked outside the motel, the narrative states.
Clouthier correctly identified himself, while McLeod allegedly said his name was “Peter,” the narrative states. McLeod handed over his ID, which revealed his real name.
I see what you did there Ryan. Telling the cops your name was “Peter,” just one of the many slang terms for penis, was well played, especially for being so wasted. “Dick” would have been the more obvious choice, but that was probably a little to lowbrow for you.
Then again, you pissed on the floor of a bar, so really, how highbrow can you be to begin with?
