BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Sabres forward Evander Kane was arrested by Buffalo police Friday, and faces numerous charges for allegedly grabbing three women by the neck, hair and arms during an altercation at a downtown bar last month.The 24-year-old Kane was handcuffed after turning himself in outside the police departments downtown booking facility. Kane was processed and released, and is scheduled to make his first court appearance on Aug. 1. He faces four counts of non-criminal harassment, one count of disorderly conduct and a count of misdemeanor trespass as a result of the altercation that happened in the early hours of June 24 -- the same day the NHLs two-day draft opened in Buffalo.The arrest was made a day after investigators informed the players lawyer of the charges and requested Kane surrender himself, Buffalo police downtown district chief Joseph Gramaglia said.Kanes lawyer Paul Cambria told The Associated Press by phone that his client denies the charges. Cambria questioned why Kane was charged with trespassing when he was invited to the bar by the establishments owner.Cambria was also surprised police handcuffed Kane outside the facility, when his client voluntarily surrendered.Obviously, it wasnt necessary, Cambria said. But we dont govern their actions.Gramaglia said it is police policy to handcuff all suspects upon entering the secure facility regardless of who they are or the charges.Gramaglia said the charges are based on allegations made by three women, who said they were grabbed by Kane inside and outside the bar. A male bar employee, who forcibly removed Kane from the establishment, also filed a complaint which led to the disorderly conduct and trespass charges, Gramaglia said.He said no one was injured.The Sabres and the NHL both issued statements saying they are aware of Kanes arrest.The NHL said it will monitor the legal proceedings before determining whether Kane will face disciplinary action. The league added, if necessary, it could determine to have Kane directed to the NHL/NHL Players Associations behavioral health professionals for evaluation and counselling.The arrest is the latest in a string of off- and on-ice troubles for Kane, who has two years remaining on his contract.In March, prosecutors announced after a three-month investigation that Kane would not face a sexual assault charge stemming from a December incident because there was no evidence to support the allegation.Kane also ran into trouble with the Sabres, who suspended him for one game in February after he slept in and missed practice. It happened a day after pictures surfaced on social media of Kane celebrating in Toronto after attending the NBA All-Star game.Three weeks ago, Sabres general manager Tim Murray expressed concern about Kane by saying the player needs to behave better.Hes going to have to pick and choose his spots when he goes out a lot better than he does, Murray said. Whether he has done these things or not, or he is guilty of these things or not, its not something I like getting up in the morning and reading about thats for sure.The fourth player selected in the 2009 draft, Kane completed his first season in Buffalo after being acquired in a multiplayer trade with Winnipeg in February 2015. He scored 20 goals and added 15 assists in 65 games last season.---This story has been corrected to reflect altercation happened on June 24. Rob Gronkowski Patriots Jersey .

Custom New England Patriots Jerseys . LOUIS -- Attorneys for the St. Retiring NSW skipper Paul Gallen deserves a packed house at his final State of Origin game, Johnathan Thurston says.But the Queensland playmaker says he feels no sympathy for prospective Blues pivots Jack Bird and Matt Moylan, promising a tough initiation.Thurston may look forward to seeing the back of NSW warhorse Gallen, who will draw the curtain on a 24-game Origin career in Wednesday nights Origin III in Sydney.And it may be a dead rubber after Queensland sealed their 10th series win in 11 years.But Thurston could feel for the departing captain following reports that 20,000 seats are still available at ANZ Stadium.Thurston believes a sellout crowd would provide a fitting farewell for Gallen.It will be a shame if their captain runs out to 60,000, Thurston said.He has played over 20 Origins for them.It would be sad I feel (if it was not a packed house).Thurstons mood quickly changed when the subject of NSWs five-eighth was brought up.Cronullas Bird and Penriths Moylan are vying for the NSW No.6 jersey in a reshuffle after halfback Adam Reynolds succumbed to a shoulder injury.Thurston said he expected Bird to start at pivot.Its a tricky one for them but (Bird) is a bigger body and played that position before, he said.ddddddddddddJack has been smashing it at Cronulla. His confidence will be high.His game two stint was a bit short but the time he was on there I thought he was good.Moylan is probably more of a ball player and Bird is more of a runner, they both bring different styles to the team.But whoever is there we will send traffic their way.Bird made his Blues debut in game two off the bench, while Moylan played the first two Origins at fullback.Moylan may have been replaced by James Tedesco as NSW No.1 but he is back as a possible halves partner for James Maloney.Moylan has never played five-eighth in the NRL, let alone Origin.Thurston said it would be a risk to pitchfork Moylan into the Blues halves.Everyone knows Origin is a different beast, he said.Defending in the front line, you have to make the right decision. Otherwise, a lot of points will be scored around you.But you can tell Jack is a confidence player, and that wont worry him. ' ' '
