Flyers defenseman Evgeny Medvedev was charged last week with driving under the influence, possession of a controlled substance and use or possession of drug paraphernalia.
Medvedev, 33, is charged with having a blood alcohol content of more than .16 percent - more than double the legal limit for drivers - when he was stopped by Lower Moreland police last month, according to court documents.
Medvedev is a Russian national who signed a one-year contract with the Flyers last May.
Police said he was driving on Byberry Road in Lower Moreland Township early one morning last month when he was stopped by police.
