Carson Briere's Punishment Confirmed After Throwing Wheelchair Down Flight of Stairs

In breaking news this morning, Carson Briere has been dealt his punishment for the incident that saw him throw a wheelchair down a flight of stairs.

Carson Briere, son of Philadelphia Flyers GM Danny Briere, was all over social media for pushing an empty wheelchair down a flight of stairs at a local pub during his time at Mercyhurst University.

Now, the Court has ruled that Briere will receive 15 months probation for the act, according to the New York Times.

Briere had previously issued a public apology and offered to pay for a new wheelchair that was broken in the incident. However, he was dismissed from Mercyhurst earlier this year before his court appearance.

The owner of the wheelchair, Sydney Benes, spoke at the court appearance, stating how embarrassing the whole situation was.

Briere is set to continue his hockey career in Europe next season.
