At the time of the arrest, there was no information on what exactly had occurred. Later on in the day, WBZ reporter Tiffany Chan reported that Lucic’s wife had called 911 and told police that Lucic had attacked and choked her. When police arrived, Lucic was reported to appear drunk.

According to reporting from the Boston Globe, Lucic will appear in court tomorrow and will be facing a charge of assault and battery on a family or household member.

Lucic married Brittany Carnegie in 2012 and the couple have since had three children together. This is the second time police have been involved in an incident regarding the couple. Back in 2011, police were called after people reported seeing Lucic yelling at a sobbing Carnegie.

According to the report, Lucic appeared to be intoxicated during that incident as well. No arrests were made and the couple has since downplayed the incident.

Shortly after the most recent situation came to light, the Bruins announced that the former 30-goal-scorer had been placed on an indefinite leave of absence.

The power forward signed a one-year $1 million contract with the Bruins over the summer. This is his second stint with the team after playing eight seasons in Boston between 2007 and 2015. He then played in L.A., Edmonton, and Calgary before coming back to the East Coast.

He has only appeared in four games with Boston this season, recording just two points.
