Updated: 10:03 AM EST Nov 21, 2023
Bruins veteran forward Milan Lucic ignored questions from reporters Tuesday morning as he entered a Boston courthouse for a hearing after being arrested in a domestic assault incident that SportsCenter 5 first reported over the weekend.Lucic’s hearing was held at the Central Division of Boston Municipal Court, located on New Chardon Street. A not-guilty plea was entered on his behalf. Prosecutors asked the court to allow Lucic to be released on personal recognizance with a no-abuse order and a requirement that he refrain from alcohol while this case is pending. The judge agreed with those conditions and warned that any future arrests could result in the revocation of his release. A police report obtained by NewsCenter 5 said he was accused of assaulting his wife early Saturday morning after a night of drinking.Video below: Lucic arrives at Boston courthouseAccording to the police 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, who identified herself as Lucic’s wife, in the lobby of the building.The victim said that Lucic could not locate his cell phone after a night out that she believed involved the consumption of alcohol. According to the report, she told the officer that Lucic began yelling and demanding the phone, which she did not have.She told Lucic they did not have the phone or know where it was and attempted to walk away, but told police that Lucic grabbed her 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 she said Lucic did not attempt to strangle her and she 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 officers escorted him upstairs to a 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. 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.
