Flyers captain Claude Giroux reportedly arrested in Ottawa for groping cop

OTTAWA – Philadelphia Flyers captain Claude Giroux was reportedly arrested on Canada Day in Ottawa’s downtown ByWard Market after allegedly grabbing a male police officer’s buttocks.

Giroux spent the night in an Ottawa jail cell, CBC reported.

An Ottawa police spokesman said a man was taken into custody around 9:15 p.m. after a similar incident, but he wouldn’t confirm it was Giroux.

No charges will be laid, said Const. Marc Soucy.

The 26-year-old Giroux, who hails from Hearst, Ont., was expected to be released from custody on Wednesday morning.

One wouldn't think he was a hockey player! Besides, he's apparently a lover and not a fighter!

Was the cop uniformed, off duty, or helping to run an undercover sting?

Or did Giroux MISTAKE the cop for a woman?

...A picture has emerged of what appears to be Giroux's arrest Tuesday night for groping a male police officer at The Great Canadian Cabin, a bar in the ByWard section of Ottawa.

Dressed in shorts, a peach T-shirt, sandals and a baseball cap worn backward, Giroux appears to be chatting to a woman on his left as another woman stands a few feet away.

Giroux, who lives in Ottawa, was freed Wednesday morning with no charges filed. The Ottawa Sun reported that Giroux's brush with the law was alcohol-related.

It appears Giroux previously has patronized The Great Canadian Cabin. On Wednesday, someone using the name Officer S. posted what appears to be an older picture to Yelp of the Flyers star inside the bar posing with two guys...
