Alex Galchenyuk was arrested in July on six charges. Now, the verdict in his case has been revealed.

Galchenuk Sentenced to Jail

Fortunately for him, he got a good plea deal with the City of Scottsdale and most of the charges against him were dismissed.

For his crime, he's sentenced to 30 days in jail.

Here's what was reported by Katie Strang from The Athletic:

"According to sentencing documents, five of the charges against Alex Galchenyuk were dismissed; he pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor threatening charge.

According to those documents, Galchenyuk was sentenced to 30 days of jail time, one of which counts as time served and 27 of which will be suspended upon successful completion of an alcohol recovery program and 12 months without consuming/possessing alcohol.

Last month, Galchenyuk publicly apologized and announced that he was entering the NHL/NHLPA player assistance program"

This means that he won't have to spend a day in jail, as long as he can respect his commitments.

Galchenuk signed a KHL contract for next season and he'll likely report soon to the team.
