Five charges against NHL forward Alex Galchenyuk were dismissed in court Monday, but he pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor threatening charge, per Katie Strang and The Athletic staff.

He was arrested in July and charged with private property hit and run, disorderly conduct, failure to obey, resisting arrest, and threatening or intimidating. Strang noted he allegedly threatened to kill a police officer and the officer's family at the time of the arrest.

The police report also said he used a racist slur toward a police officer.

Strang cited sentencing documents that revealed Galchenyuk was sentenced to 30 days of jail time but may have to serve just two days.
