Well, this will bring the haters out: Sean Avery of the New York Rangers was arrested and charged with battery against a police officer early Friday morning. The LA Times reports the incident occurred at 1 a.m. PST and that Avery spent the night in jail.

From NBC New York:

Avery was having a party at his home in the Hollywood Hills a little after midnight, according to police. It was the second time officers had come to the residence after getting complaints of loud music.

When officers came to the house, Avery argued with police and attempted to go back inside his house, pushing an officer out of the way. Avery then slammed the door and refused to come out. Officers continued to talk to the 31-year-old, asking him to come out, but he refused and additional officers were called to the location.

From the original TMZ report on Avery’s arrest:

[When] police then knocked again, and we’re told the New York Rangers star came to his senses and opened up. According to law enforcement … Avery was extremely cooperative after that, but was still booked for battery on a peace officer. He was taken to the Hollywood police station and is being held on $20,000 bail.
