Reporter charged for death threats against hockey boyfriend[...]
Last week, the documents say, Playfair told MacLauglin over the phone he had cheated on her with another girl, while in Spokane.
McLaughlin then allegedly began to verbally threaten Playfair.
"She advised him that by tomorrow night he would be dead," the documents say and that "when she sees him it would be the last game of hockey he plays. Mr Playfair advised that the defendant had made threats in the past to hurt him and herself when they had previous arguments."
The next day Playfair contacted police after receiving a number of further messages from MacLaughlin indicating she had driven to Washington state and was now in his neighbourhood.
Police officers found her at a Super 8 motel. McLaughlin denied threatening to kill Playfair and was told to stay away from him, but the following morning the hockey player called police again, saying he'd received two dozen more messages. That's when police arrested her.

On social media McLaughlin's twitter friends are defending her, saying the whole story hasn't been heard.
