Former Rangers star Sean Avery is embroiled in another scuffle with a “crazy neighbor” who allegedly fired shots outside his Los Angeles home — before trying to “frame” the ex-NHLer with “two hookers.”
Avery, 46, claimed that his neighbor opened fire at the vehicle tires of his contractor, who was working on a new deck for the hockey player-turned-actor in Hollywood Hills on Tuesday.
“My crazy neighbor shot out the tires of the contractor building a new deck at the house. As this is going on, there’s a standoff at the house. He’s inside. He’s got guns,” Avery said on Instagram.
“He calls two hookers and tries to frame me. He sends two hookers up to the house for me — I’m not even there — as a smokescreen.”
“The hookers… I don’t even know what’s going on with the election. F—ing Spencer Pratt, the hockey game, the hookers … wow!” he added, referencing the LA mayoral race and the Stanley Cup Final.
The Los Angeles Police Department responded to a 911 call at Avery’s home in Hollywood Hills about criminal threats being made at around 10 a.m. on Tuesday, TMZ reported.
The caller claimed that Avery’s neighbor had been harassing and threatening his contractors during the home renovation project.
However, police found no indication of threats and no report was taken, according to TMZ. Officers were called back to the home at around 5 p.m. after receiving a call about shots being fired.
Avery and his wife, model Hilary Rhoda, were not home during the incident, according to the outlet. Avery noted that he was away “on set” filming an upcoming project when the shooting happened.
It’s unclear if the couple’s 5-year-old son, Nash, was home.
Avery’s neighbor was arrested at around 6:15 p.m., TMZ reported, citing the LAPD.
The investigation is ongoing.
The Post has reached out to the LAPD for comment.
While it remains to be seen what led up to the shooting, this is not the first time Avery has had a dramatic incident involving one of his neighbors.
In 2022, a video obtained by TMZ showed Avery in a clash with a group of people, including some teenagers — over how they parked on the street, outside a home where he said he was house-sitting in the Hollywood Hills.
Avery, who said he lived two streets down from where the incident took place, accused the teens of blocking the driveway and threatened to snap “windshield wipers off” their car if they parked there again.
When the man recording the video told him not to “talk to little kids like that,” the former NHL agitator invited him to fight.
“You can kick or punch me … You’re too f–king short to actually challenge anyone,” Avery shot back.
The man then questioned why Avery was yelling at children who were not his own.
“If this was my kid, I’d pull his f–king hair into the house and I’d tell his dumb f–king friends to go home,” Avery said.
Despite the heated confrontation, no police report was filed regarding the incident, TMZ reported.
Avery spent 12 seasons playing pro hockey, suiting up for the Red Wings, Kings, Stars, and Rangers and posting 90 goals and 157 assists in 580 games.
He led the league in penalty minutes twice before retiring in 2012.
