Lyngby Boldklub will sack Nicki Bille after he was arrested by police in Copenhagen. Bille returned to Danish football after serving a prison sentence for violence. The 1. division club announced the decision in a press release. Bille returned to Danish football after serving a prison sentence for violence, but was unable to avoid the police's attention for long. Lyngby clarifies that the club does not know 100% of the circumstances, but confirms that Bille is charged by the police after behaving threateningly. – We can currently conclude that Nicki Bille has committed himself against the values, ethics, and morals of the club to such an extent that it is incompatible with representing Lyngby Boldklub. The boundary has been crossed – and it will naturally have a consequence, writes the club and continues: – Lyngby Boldklub will therefore take the initiative to meet with Nicki Bille and his agent as soon as possible to terminate his contract. It was Danish TV3 that first reported that Nicki Bille Nielsen had been arrested by the police. It is said to have happened on Strøget in Copenhagen 'at lunchtime'. The police in the Danish capital confirm that an incident has occurred, but do not immediately reveal whether the controversial football player was involved. Lyngby coach Mark Strudal confirmed early Monday evening that Nicki Bille Nielsen is the arrested person. – I have been informed of the arrest and am very sorry on my own, the club's, and Nicki's behalf. But I and the club have no further comments until we know the full extent of the case, he said to TV3. The police in Copenhagen report that they have found a gas pistol in connection with 'disorder'. According to the newspaper Ekstra Bladet, Bille used this to threaten a cyclist. – I can confirm that there has been an incident, and that we have arrested a person in connection with disorder. In the same connection, we have found an object that has turned out to be a gas pistol, and we are now investigating whether there is a connection between the two incidents, says the acting head of the Copenhagen police, Kristian Rhodin. He also states that the arrested person is charged in the case, but not for what. 30-year-old Nicki Bille Nielsen was previously sentenced to a prison sentence of one month for a violent episode in Monaco. He then returned to Danish football and Lyngby after playing for Greek Panionios. Bille played for Rosenborg in 2013 and 2014. He also got into trouble then, including biting a police officer during a wet night in Copenhagen. For the episode, he was sentenced to 60 days of conditional imprisonment and 80 hours of community service. Bille was also arrested by the police after a brawl in the city of Trondheim in 2013. And back in 2009, he received a conditional prison sentence and community service for handing out a knuckle duster.
