Sean Avery, who seems to make more news off the ice than on, was arrested early this morning for assaulting a police officer. The incident occurred in Hollywood a little after midnight according to the report.

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.

Avery finally did come out and was cooperative. He was then arrested for battery of a police officer, which carries a bail of $20,000, according to the Hollywood Division watch commander.

So, all in all, the assault didn’t appear to be that serious. Of course, we are not condoning the touching of cops in any way. But when you think of assault, it’s usually more than a simple push.

That said, Sean Avery is sort of a douche, so if they’d like to lock him up for that, I’m more than ok with it.
