Legal problems continue to follow ex-NHLer Billy Tibbetts.
The 51-year-old former forward was arrested Tuesday at a Massachusetts motel for allegedly violating a protective order tied to a harassment claim, according to the Times Leader.
A warrant reportedly had been issued on Feb. 4 by a Massachusetts judge, with Pennsylvania among the neighboring states listed for extradition.
U.S. Marshals and Plains Township police arrested Tibbetts at a Red Roof Inn on Route 315, per the Times Leader, and he was arraigned before being released on $25,000 bail.
He has an extradition hearing scheduled for March 25.
Tibbetts, who reportedly now resides in Rhode Island, is a Boston native who appeared in 82 games across four NHL seasons from 2000-03.
He played in 62 games for the Penguins over two seasons before joining the Flyers for nine games in the 2001-02 campaign.
Tibbetts wrapped up his career with 11 games for the 2002-03 Rangers, failing to tally a single point.
In his career, he scored two goals and added eight assists for 10 total points.
This arrest is the latest in a lengthy history of run-ins with the law.
Tibbetts pleaded guilty in 1994 to raping a 15-year-old girl when he was 17, according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
One year later, he was arraigned for assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, per ESPN.
He reportedly served 39 months in jail for violating his probation before being paroled in 1999.
In 2007, police arrested him on multiple charges following a high-speed car chase, per Boston.com.
Tibbetts was arrested twice in 2019, per the Tribune-Review.
He spent two months in jail for harassing a Massachusetts police chief, according to The Patriot Ledger.
Shortly after exiting jail, he was reportedly arrested on drug charges in Boston.
Police claimed that Tibbetts possessed a “small, white, rock-like substance believed to be crack cocaine, per the Patriot Ledger.
That arrest landed him another yearlong jail sentence since it reportedly violated the terms of his probation.
