Newly obtained records from the Boston Police Department reveal details from the arrest of Boston Bruins veteran forward Milan Lucic following a domestic incident that SportsCenter 5 first reported over the weekend. According to the incident report, the incident began at 1:04 a.m. on Saturday when an officer responded to a radio call for a reported assault and battery at a waterfront apartment building located along Battery Street in the North End. The officer said he met the victim, a member of Lucic’s family, in the lobby of the building. The victim said that Lucic could not locate his cell phone after a night out that they believed involved the consumption of alcohol. According to the report, the victim told the officer that Lucic began yelling and demanding the phone.The family member told Lucic they did not have the phone or know where it was and attempted to walk away, but told police that Lucic grabbed their hair and pulled them backward. The victim also told police that Lucic said they would not be going anywhere. An officer observed redness on the victim’s chest but noted that the victim said Lucic did not attempt to strangle them and they declined to be seen by emergency medical services. A sergeant photographed the victim’s injuries. The officer and the sergeant then went to the apartment, where they met Lucic.”He appeared to be intoxicated when he answered the door,” the report states. “He stated to officers that nothing had happened and did not attempt to provide any explanation.” The sergeant informed Lucic of the allegation and officer escorted him upstairs to his bedroom to retrieve clothing. They observed a broken lamp on one of the nightstands in the bedroom and what appeared to be a small amount of broken glass on the floor, although they noted that Lucic said it was shards of plastic. At that point, Lucic was arrested on a charge of assault and battery on a family member and taken to the Boston Police Department’s A-1 District Station. According to the document, one of the officers involved in transporting Lucic to the station shares a surname with Bruins captain Brad Marchand. Lucic is expected to appear in a Boston courtroom this week for an arraignment, according to the Suffolk County District Attorney’s office. The Boston Bruins announced over the weekend that Lucic would be taking “an indefinite leave of absence” from the team. The Bruins’ written statement said, “The organization takes these matters very seriously, and we will work with the Lucic family to provide any support and assistance they may need.”“I don’t have any further comment because I haven’t talked to anyone about where that situation’s at right now more than what we did after the game yesterday,” Bruins Head Coach Jim Montgomery said Sunday.A 2011 Stanley Cup winner with the Bruins, Lucic returned during the offseason, signing a $1 million deal with $500,000 more possible in performance-based incentives.He made his debut for the Bruins in 2007 and spent eight seasons in Boston before making his return in the off-season. The 6 foot, 3 inch tall, 236 pound Lucic was placed on the Bruins long-term injured list last month. Bruins captain Brad Marchand said Saturday he was aware of what happened with Lucic. “The biggest thing for us is we care a lot about their family,” Marchand said. “We’re a family in here. We’re all very, very close, so we’re also very concerned, you know, and upset for them and what they’re going through.””We have a lot of support for Brittany (Lucic’s wife) and the kids and Lucic himself,” Marchand said. “Because of that respect for them, you know, that’s going to be it for now.”Marchand said players didn’t have any details about the incident. “We don’t really know a whole lot of what’s happened, what’s gone on, so it’s very hard to comment on much of it.” Marchand said. “Obviously, I’ve known Lucic for a long time. He’s a very good friend and it’s tough to see your teammates and your friends going through stuff like this and their family.”The 35-year-old Lucic played in four games, getting two assists before suffering what the team described as a lower-body injury after getting hit with a shot off an ankle in a game against Los Angeles on Oct. 21.Montgomery said earlier this week that Lucic’s recovery from injury was going slower than planned. “Looch is not going as quick as we expected, so he’s maybe a week behind where we expected, but it’s not dramatic,” Montgomery said.
