Flyers defenseman Evgeny Medvedev has been charged with driving under the influence, possession of a controlled substance and use or possession of drug paraphernalia, according to Sam Carchidi of the Inquirer.
The charges stem from an arrest for suspicion of DUI back on April 27 in Montgomery County. Medvedev was stopped for a traffic violation around 2:45 a.m., police told NBCPhiladelphia.
The 33-year-old Russian signed a one-year deal with the Flyers last May after seven season in the KHL. Medvedev didn't appear to be part of the Flyers' future. He was a healthy scratch for 14 of the team's final 15 games.
In 45 games with the Flyers, Medvedev recorded four goals and eight assists.
Medvedev will have a hearing on June 15 according to Carchidi.
