Radja, Oshie Charges Dropped
CHN Staff Report
Misdemeanor charges against former North Dakota forward T.J. Oshie and New Hampshire forward Mike Radja have been dismissed.
The pair had been charged with disorderly conduct, reportedly stemming from public urination in a stuck elevator at Oshie's apartment building. The two were part of a group socializing after their two teams played a game in late December 2007.
According to court records, the charges were dismissed by "compromise," meaning the aggrieved party -- in this case the landlord of the building where it occurred -- decided to pursue remedy through civil action, or believes it has been fairly compensated.
Under North Dakota statute, a compromise is only allowed under certain circumstances, including misdemeanors and incidents that aren't cases of domestic violence.
I can't wait till this thread turns into a flame feast between Gophers and Sioux fans, or how UND players are a bunch of goons.

haha...i agree. it will turn into a bunch of comments about how lucia didn't develop okposo and then hakstol is a tool and so on. it will be about people who aren't even related to the article.
i am a gopher fan...but i do appreciate how good some of the und players have been. good luck to oshie in the pros (he is still a product of warroad, mn).

Once they hit the NHL I don't care what team they played for, I even like Gopher NHLers :)

More like a knife fight. Didn't you know TJ stands for "Tiny Jones". Hung like a tack.

I don't blame them. Being stuck in an elevator after a tough series and probably after a few too many shirley temples, I would pee in the elevator as well.

Morons! Isn't Schmidt, the WCHA ref that majorly goofed last year a cop on ND?

to all of you idiots who made a big deal of this college party (that never happens!) there you go talking stupid for no reason, congratulations you have officially wasted your time and everyone elses time. TJ Oshie is now in the NHL on to bigger and better things and your writing nonsense about a 21 yr old on a website, once again congratulations!

Well TJ signed a Professional contract but to state that "TJ is now IN the NHL" Is a bit premature. Let's see if he makes the NHL club before making the statement that he is now in the NHL. Remember Jim Archibald? He had a much more impressive record at UND the Oshie. Archibald barely had a cup of coffee in the NHL. More like he saw a cup of coffe.

Great news! Good reason to have a party. Have a beer on me.

Grand Forks Police were just angry at Oshie and out for a little revenge. Last season the sioux opened some squad cars to let their teammates out.
Most people in GF were "pissed" at the cops on this one.

Well, now we can get past this incident and move on to the next time UNH and North Dakota has players arrested. Probably won't be too soon for North Dakota. Who knows, maybe another one has been tossed in the clink and we don't even know about it yet.

Most of us cops are big Sioux fans. Don't just say the GFPD dislikes/disliked the hockey team.
