Shocking new report claims Alex Galchenyuk aimed death threat, racial slurs at cops amid recent controversy  

Following his arrest last week, a new shocking report about Alex Galchenyuk has surfaced. Galchenyuk was arrested on July 9 on a plethora of charges, including hit-and-run, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and threatening.

According to Scottsdale Police, the former Arizona Coyotes forward was accompanied by a second person, said to be his father, in a BMW car that struck a sign and curb while driving. They were pulled into a parking lot and seen lying outside the car.

They continued driving north of Scottsdale Road before police arrived and stopped the car. After he was forcibly removed from his car, Galchenyuk lost it and threatened to kill a police officer during his arrest and screamed racial slurs multiple times at the officer in training while citing his Russian connections.

"I'm gunna chop you, your wife, your daughter" and "One phone call, and you're all dead, your whole family, your blood line is dead," police said in a report."
