National Hockey League star Patrick Kane pleaded guilty on Thursday to disorderly conduct, a non-criminal charge, after an incident earlier this month involving a cab driver and a fare dispute. Kane, 20, and his cousin James Kane, 21, were given conditional discharges and will avoid any punishment if they maintain good behavior for one year and apologize to cab driver Jan Radecki. Both were ordered to send a written apology to the elderly cabbie over the altercation, which Radecki claimed began when he told them he lacked 20 cents in change for their fare and included the Kanes beating him up. Kane, who apologized in court and said he hoped to put the incident behind him, could have been sentenced to 15 days in jail. Last week, the Kanes were charged with misdemeanor assault, harassment and theft.
