Overview
- Court records show the former NHL center was arraigned Monday in Bloomfield Hills District Court and entered not guilty pleas to two misdemeanor fourth-degree counts.
- The charges, filed Oct. 23, stem from an alleged Jan. 1 incident in Orchard Lake that was reported to police on Jan. 2, with few details publicly released.
- Kesler posted a $50,000 bond and was ordered not to leave Michigan without court permission and to appear for all scheduled proceedings.
- A probable-cause conference is set for Nov. 6, followed by a preliminary examination on Nov. 13, according to court schedules.
- The Michigan Amateur Hockey Association suspended Kesler from his youth coaching role, and he was also suspended from USA Hockey activities, as his attorney publicly denied the allegations.
