Following Jarret Stoll’s arrest, details trickled in about his time in Las Vegas. According to TMZ, Stoll had been partying heavily with other members of the Los Angeles Kings, including teammates Drew Doughty and Martin Jones. This was a send-off, of sorts, as the Kings’ season had just ended a week earlier after being bounced from the NHL playoffs. While multiple members of the team’s organization were in Las Vegas with Stoll, he was the only one accused of breaking the law.
Roughly two months after his arrest, Stoll was formally charged on June 22, 2015, with felony cocaine possession. He was not, however, charged with possession of any other illicit drugs. “I’m hopeful there will be a fair resolution,” the hockey player’s lawyer, David Chesnoff, told the Los Angeles Times.

Fortunately for Stoll, there was a quick resolution to his case. A few days later, he reached a plea deal on June 25, 2015. His charge was knocked back from a felony to two misdemeanors. Stoll was sentenced to 32 hours of community service, which he would split between volunteering at the Salvation Army and working on a hockey program for at-risk youths. “I am committed to meeting all of my obligations to the court and am grateful for the chance to offer guidance and share positive life lessons to kids,” Stoll said in a statement obtained by ESPN. The charge was resolved swiftly, but the incident appeared to cause Stoll’s relationship with Erin Andrews to hit a snag.
