According to the Raleigh News & Observer, Carolina Hurricanes' centre Eric Staal and younger brother Jordan of the Pittsburgh Penguins were among 14 people arrested in Cook County, Minnesota early Saturday after the elder Staal's bachelor party got out of hand.

Both brothers were reportedly charged with disorderly conduct and obstructing the legal process, while Jordan was also charged with consumption of alcohol while under 21 years of age. Rick Curran, the agent for Eric Staal, said he expected the misdemeanor charges to be reduced or dismissed.

According to a statement released by the Cook County Sheriff's office, a group of about 20 people was warned "multiple times" after the Sheriff's office received complaints about "screaming, yelling and playing loud music," before it was ordered to leave the resort by police.

"After leaving the property, the group gathered on Highway 61 and began harassing passing motorists," the Sheriff's office told the News & Observer, at which point 14 members of the group were arrested. Eric Staal was one of 10 people to spend the night in jail.

Eric Staal scored 30 goals and picked up 40 assists last season while brother Jordan, a Calder trophy finalist, had 29 goals, 13 assists and lead the league in shorthanded goals.
