Who knows. Maybe he's got some family here or something. Or just visiting. Ottawa is a nice place.

Interesting

Ottawa police saying reports of Crosby being arrested are an "outright lie."

So who knows. I can see the NHL offering the Ottawa police a nice chunk of change to keep the poster boys image clean lol

The only thing on the net is it was driving related and it was in a rented Porsche.

A vicious rumor stated by Giroux.

This may have been bad reporting. Time will tell. I'm here in Ottawa following all the local journalists on twitter, so I will post anything new if it comes along before I crash.

Considering it's a paper whose name ends with 'Sun', I wouldn't be surprised if it's nothing more than yellow journalism...but until there's confirmation otherwise this'll stay open.

Literally everything I'm coming across is either denying it or coming from a Sun paper, which may as well be the National Enquirer.

holy crap!

i consider crosby to be almost the perfect human, i hope he didnt get a dui or something like that!

"There is no arrest. He was never arrested by Ottawa Police. He's not in a cell." - @OttawaPolice on tape w/ @CFRAOttawa on #SidneyCrosby


Could it possibly be, the Sun reporting a hoax without checking any sources? Oh no, I'm so surprised. I hold the Sun to a higher...okay I can't even keep up with this.

Until an official report comes out denying it this will stay open, but it seems like a hoax.

 

[Mister Hockey]

Even if it is true, it may be something as stupid as something with a past renter having the car reported stolen.

 

[Mister Hockey]

CBS is now reporting that it is an outright lie.

 

[Shrimper]

He was just visiting Giroux..

 

[Big McLargehuge]

Ottawa police officials are calling it a lie and say they're dumbfounded by the reports.


The Sun, ladies and gentlemen.

#ottawa Police Chief @ChiefBordeleau tweets on reports of Sidney Crosby's arrest: "We have had no dealings with Mr. Crosby. @ottawasuncom

LOL what a joke The Sun is. Lock this thread up.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

If things take a drastic turn then someone else can open this back up, but it appears to almost certainly be a hoax and the more time passes with the more people saying so I don't see any reason to keep this open any further.

Locked unless confirmed by a non-yellow tabloid.
