Florida Panthers equipment manager Thaddeus “Teddy” Richards is arrested and charged with battery, according to reports from multiple outlets. The Athletic and Yahoo Sports both identify Richards as the team’s equipment manager and say his arrest occurs on a Friday. Yahoo Sports adds that the case involves a battery/domestic violence charge. The same report says the Florida Panthers suspend Richards following the arrest. Yahoo Sports also notes Richards’ background with major winning teams, describing his work with Stanley Cup–winning and Olympic gold-medal–winning teams. The Athletic’s report focuses on the arrest itself, while Yahoo Sports includes the team’s disciplinary action and additional biographical detail. Across the reports, Richards’ arrest and the battery-related charge are consistent, as is the Panthers’ suspension of him after the arrest.
