MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (WSVN) - Police arrested two Florida Panther hockey players early Monday morning after they refused to leave a nightclub for disorderly conduct.

According to Miami Beach Police, 43-year-old goalie Ed Belfour and 33-year-old left wing Ville Peltonen were at Nikki Beach around 1 a.m. when they were asked to leave for disorderly conduct. When the pair refused to leave, an officer responded to the scene.

As the officer approached the men, Belfour got into a fighting position, and the two got into a scuffle, which forced the officer to taser Belfour.

While Belfour was placed in a rescue vehicle to be treated for abrasions, Peltonen approached the vehicle and proceeded to tear off a piece as he smiled at rescue workers.

Both men were taken to the Miami-Dade County jail for processing. Belfour was charged with battery on a police officer and disorderly conduct. Peltonen was charged with criminal mischief.

The Panthers just ended their 2006-2007 season last Saturday night on the road against the Carolina Hurricanes.

Belfour was charged with battery on a police officer and disorderly conduct. Peltonen was charged with criminal mischief.
