Earlier today a story started to make it's rounds regarding Auston Matthews and a disorderly conduct charge in Arizona.Those reports had yet to be confirmed by the team or any beat reporters however his name appeared on Arizona public records. Following the story leaking on social media, the Maple Leafs released a statement."The Toronto Maple Leafs are aware of the complaint of disturbing the peace against forward Auston Matthews," the statement reads. "Auston is cooperating fully with the relevant authorities but neither he nor the Club will comment any further out of respect for the process involved." CBC was able to uncover the details of the police reports:"According to the police report, a female security guard at a condo complex in Scottsdale made the complaint after she said Matthews and a group of males tried to open her vehicle as she sat inside doing paperwork at 2 a.m. The complainant said she got out her car and confronted Matthews, who she said appeared to be intoxicated. She said Matthews said he thought it would be funny to see how she would respond. The report states that, as Matthews walked away, he dropped his pants, bent over and grabbed his buttocks, though the complainant said he appeared to keep his underwear on. The report says surveillance video shows a male subject walking toward the complex elevators with his pants around his ankles."
