Washington Capitals defenseman Alex Alexeyev was pepper-sprayed and arrested last weekend after a physical confrontation in the Clarendon neighborhood of Arlington.

Public records from the Virginia Judiciary reveal that Alexeyev is set to appear in court on June 11, facing a public intoxication charge. His offense is considered a Class 4 misdemeanor, which comes with zero jail time and, at most, a fine of no more than $250.

The first reporting of Alexeyev's run-in with the law came from ARLnow earlier this week. The 25-year-old defender was arrested after a fight in front of Big Tony's Pizzeria, across from the Clarendon Metro station.

The Russian rearguard was booked at the Arlington County jail at 4:19 am Saturday and later released. Alexeyev's booking photo showed him still missing several teeth due to a high stick he took in the mouth during the Capitals' first-round playoff series.

Alexeyev is a restricted free agent this summer after featuring in 18 combined regular-season and postseason games for the Caps this past year. Before news of the incident was made public, Capitals president of hockey operations, Brian MacLellan, stated that the club would like to get their 2018 first-round pick into more games moving forward.
