Jeff O’Neill Arrested

Carolina Hurricanes forward Jeff O’Neill was arrested last night on drunk driving charges.

Along with one count of driving while impaired, O’Neill, 29, has been charged with one count each of disorderly conduct, failing to stop for a stop sign and transporting spiritous liquor without a seal, court records show.

The arresting deputy saw O’Neill urinate in a parking lot of a shopping center, according to court papers.

The vehicle O’Neill was traveling in failed to stop at a stop sign, according to arrest warrants. During the ensuing traffic stop, the officer detected a “strong odor of alcohol.” O’Neill also had a “poor field sobriety performance,” according to a court affidavit.

O’Neill’s North Carolina driver’s license was also revoked for 30 days after he refused a chemical analysis test, according to an affidavit filed with arrest warrants.

The News & Observer spelt O’Neill’s name right throughout the article, but left off an “l” in the title.

Due to the lockout teams have no connection with their players and the Hurricanes and the league will most likely not be able to take disciplinary action against O’Neill.

Update: O’Neill charged with DWI
