Jarret Stoll Gets Felony Charges Dropped

The felony cocaine charge filed against NHL forward Jarret Stoll has been dismissed, multiple sources confirmed to ESPN.com.

Instead, Stoll will be charged with two misdemeanors stemming from his arrest in Las Vegas in April. Stoll was arrested on April 17 for possession of cocaine and MDMA while at a pool party on an unofficial end-of-season trip with his Los Angeles Kings teammates.

Stoll, 33, is not expected to return to the Kings. He will become an unrestricted free agent July 1.

Neither of the two misdemeanors are drug-related charges, however, so any potential immigration issues for the Canadian-born Stoll should no longer be an impediment should a team want to sign the veteran center.
