A night out in Disney World ended behind bars for Manitoba Moose player Darren Kramer.

The 24-year-old forward was arrested Tuesday morning after he was Tasered by an Orange County police officer.

A police report obtained by Global News detailed the officer’s description of the incident.

The officer said he was attempting to arrest Kramer in connection to a stolen bowling pin display case from a bowling alley in the Disney Springs area of the Florida resort.

Kramer was drafted by the Ottawa Senators back in 2011. He signed with the Manitoba Moose last season where he netted seven goals and spent 138 minutes in the penalty box.
