Chris Nilan, a former professional hockey player known for his frequent trips to the penalty box, was arrested on a charge of stealing a bathing suit from the Lord & Taylor store at the South Shore Plaza.
“I just wanted to save a few bucks,” he told police.
The case was dismissed Thursday in Quincy District Court. Nilan, a former Boston Bruin and Montreal Canadien, was ordered to pay $100 in court costs and to stay away from the store.
Police said the 51-year-old Milton resident and James P. McGettrick, 43, of Weymouth, went into a dressing room on Wednesday afternoon with three pairs of shorts and returned two. When he left the store, police said, Nilan was wearing blue Tommy Bahama swim shorts under the shorts he wore in.
Police said Nilan struggled with store security officers who followed him out of the store. Police said Nilan denied taking anything and threw punch at one of the guards, but missed.
When Braintree Police officers Michael Want and Matthew Crowley arrived, Nilan was still struggling with the security guards even after they knocked him down. The police officers managed to subdue Nilan and place him in handcuffs.
Police said two guards, Nilan and McGettrick came out of the scrap with scrapes and minor cuts. Nilan and McGettrick were arrested.
A Boston native who graduated from Catholic Memorial High School, Nilan played 15 seasons in the NHL with Montreal, the New York Rangers and Boston. His nickname was “Knuckles” for his role as an enforcer. He wracked up more than 3,000 career penalty minutes and set a Canadiens record for time in the penalty box.
