The incident involving NHL free agent Mike Richards at the Canadian border in June was finally given some clarity Thursday, as the two-time Stanley Cup winner was charged with possession of a controlled substance.
According to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police of Manitoba, Richards will appear in court Sept. 10 for a hearing regarding the charge against him.
Per Helene Elliott and Lisa Dillman of the Los Angeles Times, the former Los Angeles Kings star was held at the Manitoba border crossing for four hours in June due to alleged possession of OxyContin pills.
