Former Red Wing Avery posts bond after battery arrest in L.A.
LOS ANGELES -- New York Rangers player Sean Avery is out on bail after he was arrested in California on allegations he shoved an officer at his Hollywood Hills home.
Lt. Jorge Pardo told City News Service that a neighbor's noise complaint sent police to the home at around 1 a.m. Friday. Pardo said Avery answered the front door, shoved an officer and slammed the door but cooperated when officers knocked a second time.
The officer wasn't injured.
The 31-year-old Avery was booked on suspicion of battery on a police officer. He was released about seven hours later after posting $20,000 bail.
The Rangers say they'll discuss the matter with Avery and have no immediate comment.
