Pearson and Perrin in some legal trouble.

 

A month ago, Seabass Perrin and fellow Phantom's teammate, Alex Pearson pulled a no-show to the Phantom's end of season mandatory exit interviews with GM Glasser. The team a week later announced that both Perrin and Pearson hadn't been answering their phones and had simply gone MIA. Nobody knew where they were. There were rumours going around the the two might be simply gone on a bad party binge or even kidnapped by the Mafia to settle a debt. 

 

Today we know a little more on what has been going on over the last month. Yesterday, friday the 13th, Seabass Perrin spent the night in a Amsterdam drunk tank and was also charged with assault and resisting arrest. Pearson however was still missing and there was a warrant out for his arrest. According to inside sources, the pair had been drinking at various clubs around the city and had taken a cab back to their hotel. Perrin then got into a verbal altercation with the cab driver over their fare which ended with him striking the cabbie in the mouth hence the assault charge. There's a warrant out for Pearson as he then chose to steal the cabbie's wallet before they both took off on foot. Perrin was found hiding in a nearby dumpster by the police and had to be wrestled out of the dumpster. Pearson is still at large as he was never found. 

 

More information will be released as it becomes available.

 

UPDATE (May 14th 2020, 7:30 AM EST)

 

On monday morning it appears that Alex Pearson has turned himself in to the police. He's being charged with theft under 5000$. Apparently Pearson had spent the previous night sleeping in an alley after he ran from the scene of the crime and had been completely unaware he was wanted by police until he heard his name being talked about on the radio. Apparently neither Pearson nor Perrin had any recollection of what had happened friday night.

 

Initially both men were refusing to speak to the media. Perrin returned a reporter's call and gave him a little insight on what's been going on over the last month. 

 

" Well it really all started with the VHL Playoffs, we we're both pretty upset about being swept up by the eventual champs (Moscow Menace) and we just decided to go drink our faces off. Next thing you know were buying up plane tickets to Thailand, Australia hell we even partied out in Germany haha we had a blast man. I think we just needed to take our minds off of hockey and that's what we did. "

 

When asked about the cabbie punching incident,

 

" I don't remember exactly why I did it but I guess I felt cheated by the dude's fare and I felt the need to release my inner Patrick Kane. Pearson well... he was kinda out of it and I can't really explain to you why he felt he needed the guy's wallet, dude's a millionaire like why? *Chuckles* "

 

When asked about why he no-showed the Phantom's exit interview and wouldn't answer his phone,

 

" Ha ha well I was pretty heated when we lost to Moscow so I probably would've said something I don't necessarily mean out of anger but in all fairness I honestly forgot about the meeting and I was miles away. My phone? Well I chucked that thing into the ocean somewhere, it's good as gone."

 

It has yet to be determined if the Prague Phantoms will take any disciplinary action against it's players as they have remained rather silent during this whole chain of events. It is however rumoured that the Phantoms may suspend the players for a duration of time or demand that the pair enter the VHL's substance abuse program.

Yeah you guys will have to enter the program, just to make sure there aren't any problems. No suspension though, no fine, in fact team ownership is paying to replace what was stolen. We take care of our guys.
