Former Dallas Stars Goaltender Ed Belfour Arrested, Again

20 years after he offered a Dallas cop a “one-billion dollar” bribe, former Dallas Stars goaltender Eddie "The Eagle" Belfour had wound up on the wrong side of the law again. Belfour was arrested on charges of criminal mischief, and public intoxication at 1:20 a.m. Tuesday at the Kentucky Grand Hotel and Spa in Bowling Green, after police found him on a hotel floor clutching a curtain rod that had been ripped out of the dry wall above a window next to him. Reports also said Belfour had a slow slurred speech, bloodshot eyes, he could barely stand up, and he had the strong odor of alcohol on his breath. On top of that, Belfour was not being compliant with officers as we tried to put hand cuffs on him.

You may remember, back in March of 2000, Belfour was arrested on a charge of misdemeanor assault and resisting arrest after a scuffle with a security guard at the Mansion on Turtle Creek. In that case, officers had to spray Belfour with mace to force him to release the guard from a headlock. After being arrested he famously offered the Dallas cops who arrested him a $1 billion bribe to let him go.
