Personal Life
Trouble with drinking, led to two, before he gave up alcohol in. {{Quote|text=Yeah. I got two D.W.I.s, here in New York. The second one is a felony charge. I had to do some time in county jail, and when I got out I was on house arrest. I had to wear the house arrest anklet for 60 days. They monitor where you are from the anklet. You can be out of your house only to go to work. Luckily skating is my profession. So I could go anywhere, so long as I was home by six. It still sucked though. [10]
