NHL’s Auston Matthews Allegedly Drops Pants in Front of Female Guard, Charged

NHL superstar Auston Matthews is facing disorderly conduct charges in AZ … after the Maple Leafs center allegedly dropped trou and grabbed his ass in front of a female security guard, TMZ Sports has confirmed.

According to the police report … the guard was sitting in her vehicle outside Matthews’ condo complex in Scottsdale around 2 AM on May 26 … when the 22-year-old and his friends tried to open the locked car door.

The guard — who claims the group appeared to be drunk — says the guys thought it would be funny … but she didn’t consider it a laughing matter.

In the report, the guard claims Matthews started to walk away when he dropped his pants to his ankles and grabbed his butt cheeks — while keeping his skivvies on.

According to the report … the whole interaction is on video, showing a man walking towards the building’s elevator with his pants around his ankles.

The guard filed a complaint with cops a few days later … and was ultimately charged with 1 count of disorderly conduct.

Matthews — the #1 overall pick in 2016 — has a hearing later this week.

Matthews is a STUD on the ice — he’s had more than 200 points in 3 seasons and just inked a $58 million contract extension earlier this year.

Matthews’ NHL squad released a statement on Tuesday … saying “The Toronto Maple Leafs are aware of the complaint of disturbing the peace against forward Auston Matthews.”
