Kings star Stoll charged with cocaine felony (AFP)

Las Vegas (AFP) - Los Angeles Kings star center Jarret Stoll, who helped the club win the National Hockey League title in 2012 and 2014, was charged with felony cocaine possession, authorities announced Monday.

The district attorney's office in Clark County, Nevada, revealed the details of the case against the Canadian, who was arrested April 17 at the MGM Grand, the same hotel where the NHL conducts its annual award ceremony on Wednesday, which is also Stoll's 33rd birthday.

Police said Stoll attempted to enter a pool area when a security guard discovered cocaine during a voluntary pat-down.
