It appears as if Odell Beckham Jr. will find his way out of trouble for one of the incidents he was involved in after LSU won the College Football Playoff Championship Monday in the Superdome.
NOLA.com is reporting the 48-year-old officer signed an affadavit stating he did not want to press charges against the Cleveland Browns wide receiver, who slapped him on the butt in the locker room following LSU’s victory over Clemson.
The paper reports the New Orleans police depart could move to rescind the warrant for Beckham’s arrest, on the grounds that the officer victimized in the case has essentially said he does not believe his case is a criminal matter. But it remains to be seen whether the agency takes that step.
Beckham also created a stir on the sidelines by handing out wads of cash to LSU players after the victory. That created controversy when the school first indicated it was “fake” money only to have to backtrack and admit it was actual cash. How that end of the Beckham saga plays out with LSU administration and players remains to be seen.
