LAWRENCE, Mass. - Former Boston Bruins star Ray Bourque is expected to appear in a Massachusetts court to try to resolve a drunken driving charge.
A spokeswoman for Essex District Attorney Jonathan Blodgett confirmed that the office has been advised that Bourque will be in Lawrence District Court on Wednesday to try to resolve the case.
Bourque pleaded not guilty last week to operating under the influence of alcohol after his Mercedes-Benz rear-ended a minivan in Andover on June 24. No one was hurt.
Police said Bourque had a blood-alcohol level of 0.249, three times the state's legal limit to drive.
Bourque said in a statement last week: ''I am not happy about the situation I put myself into.''
He retired from the NHL in 2001 after helping the Colorado Avalanche win the Stanley Cup.
