North Dakota defenseman Robbie Bina will face a misdemeanor charge in connection with an incident at a Grand Forks tavern last weekend, multiple sources are reporting.<\/p>\n
The charge against Bina, 24, will be one of “escaping custody,” which is a Class B misdemeanor offense punishable by a maximum of a $1,000 fine or 30 days in jail.<\/p>\n
The incident in question occurred at Judy’s Tavern and included six minors — including Bina’s Fighting Sioux teammates Jonathan Toews and T.J. Oshie — who were cited for being underage in a bar. Bina opened the door of a patrol car in which two of the minors were being held and then walked away, Grand Forks city prosecutor Kristi Pettit said Saturday.<\/p>\n
Bina’s problems could be significant even if he is acquitted of the latest charge. WDAZ-TV reports that the junior blueliner was already on probation for driving while intoxicated on July 15 of last year, at which time he was given a suspended sentence on the condition that he avoid further legal entanglements.<\/p>\n
The current charge against Bina could represent a violation of his probation, which could in turn lead to a 10-day jail sentence being reinstated.<\/p>\n
Bina, Oshie and Toews are all scheduled to appear in court Feb. 12.<\/p>\n
North Dakota coach Dave Hakstol has not commented on the situation, and none of the players has yet been suspended by the team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
