  • Erin Andrews: NHL Boyfriend Jarret Stoll Charged With Felony Cocaine Possession

    Los Angeles Kings hockey player, Jarret Stoll, was arrested on April 17 for possessing cocaine at the MGM Wet Republic pool in Las Vegas. Stoll, who is the boyfriend of FOX sportscaster and Dancing With the Stars host Erin Andrews, has now been charged with felony possession of a controlled substance.

    Staff members at the Wet Republic arrested Stoll after subjecting him to a voluntary search upon which they found MDMA and powdered cocaine in his pocket.

    Based on police reports, the hockey player admitted to possessing 3.3 grams of cocaine powder. Stoll was likely at the MGM Grand Hotel to attend the second year anniversary of the hotel’s popular club Hakkasan, the same event that featured DJ Tiësto and brought out singer Christina Aguilera.

    Stoll was taken into custody at the CCDC a few months ago but was later released on $5,000 bond.

    Reports from Los Angeles Times and TMZ stated that the charge was filed as part of a criminal complaint and was listed as one felony count of cocaine possession with the Clark County District Attorney’s office.

    According to the criminal complaint, Stoll would only be charged for possessing cocaine and not for having MDMA.

    District Attorney Steven Wolfson refused to comment on why the charge only included cocaine possession.

    Stoll, who turns 33 this Wednesday, could face up to four years in state prison if convicted on the cocaine charge. However, he could possibly receive a suspended sentence and probation at the discretion of the judge, per the Orange County Register.

    The LA Kings center is expected to return to court on July 1, the same day he becomes an unrestricted NHL free agent.

    A day before being arrested, Stoll was spotted on a date with his girlfriend Andrews at La Sosta Enoteca in Manhattan Beach California.

    Erin Andrews, 37, and Stoll began dating in 2012.

  • Hugh Hefner of Tauranga: AC/DC Drummer Phil Rudd Arrested

    Phil Rudd, the 60-year-old drummer for rock ‘n’ roll band AC/DC, was arrested on the morning of November 6 during a police raid on his North Island home in New Zealand. The musician was charged with attempting to procure a murder, threatening to kill, and possession of cannabis and methamphetamines.

    The alleged hitman hired by Rudd said that the aging rock star wanted protection after disputes with “working girls” and their partners. In an exclusive interview with The Sydney Morning Herald, the hitman/bodyguard, said that Rudd was the “Hugh Hefner of Tauranga” because of the amount that he pays for escorts is “like someone’s yearly wage.”

    It has been reported that the bodyguard, whose name has been witheld, went on countless trips with Rudd including fishing and helicopter trips as well as driving around in Rudd’s expensive sports cars. Despite the arrest, the man claims that Rudd is “a good fella” with a “big heart”.

    The alleged hitman discussed the dispute with escorts at length. “The girls that he gets, working girls and that, their partners get pissed off, he tells them ‘Nah I’m not paying you’ and then the partners come and say they want their money.”

    According to documents, Rudd was accused of hiring the alleged hitman to kill two people between September 25 and September 26. He was also accused of attempting to kill a complainant on September 26.

    Rudd was released on bail until his upcoming trial on November 27.

    While he remains part of AC/DC, the “Hugh Hefner of Tauranga” has been left out of press photos for the band’s upcoming album Rock or Bust. This absence leaves his future with the band uncertain.

    Recently, Rudd released the solo album Head Job back in September. Although considering his hard-living playboy lifestyle, Hugh Hefner of Tauranga may have been a more appropriate album title. After all, it’s a nickname that’s sure to catch on.
