from Katie Strang and The Athletic Staff,

NHL veteran Alex Galchenyuk pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor threatening charge in Scottsdale (Ariz.) City Court on Monday following his arrest in early July. Five charges against Galchenyuk were dismissed — including a disorderly conduct charge and a resisting arrest charge — in court Monday, according to sentencing documents obtained by The Athletic.

Galchenyuk, 29, was sentenced to 30 days of jail time, per the documents. One of his days spent in detention counts as time served, with 27 days being suspended upon successful completion of an alcohol recovery program and 12 months without consuming/possessing alcohol. That leaves two days remaining to be served.

Scottsdale police arrested Galchenyuk on July 9 on a number of charges, including private property hit and run, disorderly conduct, failure to obey, resisting arrest and threatening or intimidating. Regarding the hit-and-run incident, police said that “it was only property damage and no injuries.” Galchenyuk allegedly threatened to kill a police officer and the officer’s family and used a racist slur toward an officer at the time of his arrest, according to a police report detailing the incident.
