Carson Briere Officially Gets Charged After Obstructing Wheelchair
When Danny Briere was named the new general manager of the Philadelphia Flyers, his son Carson made headlines for the wrong reasons. A video went viral on social media with over 40,000,000 views, showing Carson pushing a double-amputee's wheelchair down the stairs, causing damage.
As a result, many demanded that appropriate action be taken. Carson's university suspended him, and now charges have been officially filed.
Mercyhurst men's hockey player Carson Briere has been charged with criminal mischief and disorderly conduct after a video showed him pushing a double amputee's empty wheelchair down a flight of stairs at an Erie bar on March 11.
The Erie police filed the same set of charges against Patrick Carrozzi, a member of the Mercyhurst men's lacrosse team.
The charges are the second-degree misdemeanors of criminal mischief related to damaged property, criminal conspiracy to commit criminal mischief and the summary offense of disorderly conduct.
