- Police say incident came after player crashed car into sign
- Galchenyuk allegedly directed racial slurs at officer
Alex Galchenyuk repeatedly used racial slurs and threatened to have two officers killed during a traffic stop last weekend, according to a police report. Those actions led the Arizona Coyotes to terminate the player’s contract on Friday.
A Scottsdale Police Department report said Galchenyuk was erratic and aggressive toward officers after apparently crashing a car into a sign.
