Ex-NHL player, TV analyst Aaron Ward arrested in domestic incident

CARY, N.C. (AP) — Authorities have arrested former Carolina Hurricanes player and TV analyst Aaron Ward following a domestic incident.

Captain Don Hamilton with the Cary Police Department said police arrested Ward after responding to a house Friday for a call regarding a domestic assault. Hamilton says Ward was charged with assault on a female and interfering with emergency communications, both misdemeanors.

Hamilton said authorities also cited Ward's wife, Kelly, for misdemeanor simple assault on him, though she wasn't taken into custody and police sought no medical assistance to the scene.

Cary is located near Raleigh, North Carolina, where Ward helped the Hurricanes win the 2006 Stanley Cup.

In an emailed statement, TSN communications director Greg McIsaac said the TV network was "aware of the situation" and Ward wouldn't appear on-air "until further notice."
