Former New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. has dominated headlines in recent days for his antics following LSU’s National Championship victory over Clemson on Monday night.
In addition to handing out cash to student-athletes, Beckham was also caught on camera interrupting the post-game speech of head coach Ed Orgeron and slapping a security guard on the backside and then taunting him.
As the result of Beckham’s poor decision, the New Orleans Police Department has obtained a warrant for the wide receiver’s arrest, reports NOLA.com.
New Orleans police on Thursday morning obtained an arrest warrant accusing NFL player Odell Beckham Jr. of simple battery in relation to a locker room interaction he had with a Superdome police officer Monday night.
A police spokesman said the warrant was issued after a video showed Beckham apparently slapping an officer’s buttocks after LSU’s championship game.
The Giants traded Beckham to the Cleveland Browns early in the offseason, but have publicly stated it had nothing to do with his character and was merely a football decision.
