Newly released body camera footage from a July 9 incident in Scottsdale, Arizona, shows the private property hit-and-run stop and arrest that led a professional hockey player to lose his job with the Arizona Coyotes.

When Alexander “Alex” Galchenyuk, 29, was taken into custody in the misdemeanor hit-and-run, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and threat case, body camera footage shows, he was belligerent and ranting outside of a white BMW. Galchenyuk’s father was sitting behind the wheel of the car when a Scottsdale Police Department officer first approached the vehicle. He claimed that his son, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was “totally fine.”

Cops have said that the son was driving during the suspected hit-and-run of a sign and curb, but that the father showed up to the scene and got behind the wheel thereafter.

Galchenyuk was allegedly spotted by witnesses stumbling outside the vehicle after the collision.
