Just six days after signing the richest contract in franchise history, Buffalo Sabres center Ryan O’Reilly was arrested last week and charged with driving a motor vehicle while ability impaired and leaving the scene of an accident after his pickup truck reportedly rammed into a Tim Hortons cafe in Lucan, Ont.
The incident took place last Thursday morning at approximately 4:05 a.m. and was announced Monday night by the Ontario Provincial Police’s Middlesex County detachment. It was first reported by radio station CFPL-AM in London, Ont.
According to Middlesex County OPP, O’Reilly’s 1951 Chevrolet pickup truck struck the Tim Hortons on Richmond Street in Lucan, a township of about 4,500 located roughly a half-hour north of London.
