Domestic incident-related charges against former Winnipeg Jet stayed
WINNIPEG — Assault charges have been stayed against a former National Hockey League star and Winnipeg city councillor.
Manitoba’s justice department says in a statement that the Crown has entered a stay of proceedings against Thomas Steen.
Steen was charged in May 2014 with two counts of assault and one count of uttering threats after what police said was a domestic incident at a restaurant.
Steen was a member of Winnipeg city council at the time, and lost a bid for re-election later that year.
