Florida Panthers goalie Ed Belfour was arrested at a popular South Beach bar early Monday after a scuffle with a police officer.

Belfour and teammate Ville Peltonen were at the bar when security guards from the club asked police to make Belfour leave, police said.

The 41-year-old goaltender from Carman, Man., refused and walked towards the officer "in a fighting stance" and pushed him, a Miami Beach police report said.

Belfour pulled away from the officer trying to arrest him and grabbed his shirt. Belfour then fell forward on the ground, kicking and refusing to place his hands behind his back, the report said.

Belfour had slurred speech, blood shot eyes and smelled of alcohol, police said. He was charged with disorderly intoxication and resisting an officer without violence.

Peltonen, 33, was charged with criminal mischief after he broke a metal pole off a fire rescue truck parked in the area, a police report said.

Belfour is being held at Miami-Dade County Jail on $1,500 bond. Peltonen is being held on $500 bond.

While playing for the Dallas Stars in 2000, Belfour pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of resisting arrest following a scuffle with a security guard at an upscale hotel. He was sentenced to two years' probation and a $3,000 fine.

Must be the warm weather, or maybe belfor got upset that no one recognized him, so he had to do something drastic. Either way i belive his playing days are over.

Who said Sports Atheletes are not Great Role Models?

Did he try to bribe the police offers for $1 billion dollars like he did in Dallas.

I think Ed was sooooooooo disappointed that the Leafs lost out on the playoffs again this year *ouch* he went and got really drunk and carried away with himself. Give him a break I'm sure there were hundreds like him in the GTA around 9pm last Sunday

Trust me... Miami-Dade County Jail will wake him up in a real hurry. Jails in Florida are not like the club feds we have up here. Down there they have REAL jails. Even if he can bail himself out in the morn... this will be an experience he won't soon forget.
