Mercyhurst College hockey player Carson Briere, the son of Flyers Interim General Manager Danny Briere, and Lacrosse player Patrick Carrozzi have been charged with the wheelchair incident at a bar last week.
They will receive the charges through the mail by summonses and were not arrested, according to Erie Police.
Both are scheduled for a preliminary hearing on May 22nd:
“Upon the defendant exiting the wheelchair Patrick Carrozzi can be seen moving the wheelchair toward the edge of a staircase where he and the defendant then push the wheelchair down the staircase and walk away. These actions created a hazardous condition by blocking the staircase as a route of egress and posed a danger to any persons that may have been approaching the bottom of the staircase,” per GoErie.
They are second-degree misdemeanor charges. It carries a prison sentence of up to two years and a fine of up to $5,000, and a conviction for a summary offense carries a maximum prison sentence of 90 days and a $300 fine.
