It appears former NHLer star has hit rock bottom. The 35-year-old Bobby Ryan recently retired from the NHL, where he'd been enrolled in the Player's Assistance Program. Unfortunately last night Ryan was arrested in Nashville Airport for intoxication.
Ryan was drafted back in 2005 2nd overall by the Anaheim Ducks and played in 866 games in his career between Anaheim, Ottawa, and his last team the Detroit Red Wings.
Reports say at the Nashville Intentional Airport store Ryan had taken items and left without paying. This alerted Airport Police, who observed him on security cameras. Ryan left the stolen items on a counter outside of the store along his way and entered Little Harpeth Brewing, where officers found him seated at the bar ordering a drink.
Nashville Police shared the following information:
He was not compliant with them, was extremely intoxicated, and did not know where he was, the date, or the time, and could not stand on his own. The store declined prosecution on the recovered items, and Ryan was jailed for public intoxication.
Ryan was awarded the NHL's Masterton Trophy previously after a battle with alcohol abuse. The award goes to the player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship, and dedication to hockey.
Ryan was booked in Metro Nashville Jail and charged with public intoxication. He's then since been released. We here hope Ryan gets the help he needs.
