Pending unrestricted free agent and soon-to-be former Los Angeles Kings forward Jarret Stoll was charged Monday with one count of Possession of Controlled Substance, according to Lisa Dillman of the Los Angeles Times. This is a felony. Per Dillman, the substance was cocaine.
Stoll was arrested at the Wet Republic pool in late April for suspicion of possession of cocaine and Ecstasy.
The pool is located at the MGM Grand. The NHL will hold its annual awards at the MGM Grand on Wednesday, and the league is looking into some sort of Las Vegas expansion.
Stoll, 32, was immediately referred to the NHL and NHLPA joint Substance abuse and Behavioral Health program. Criminal charges were pending on toxicology results of the substances.
