Odell Beckham Jr. Reportedly Facing Battery Charge For Smacking Officer’s Butt

The New Orleans Police Department has obtained a warrant for the arrest of Cleveland Browns receiver Odell Beckham, Jr. after the football star allegedly slapped the butt of an officer Monday night, according to multiple reports.

The former Louisiana State University wide receiver was in the team’s locker room celebrating the Tigers’ National Championship victory over the Clemson Tigers when the incident occurred.

Beckham Jr. is currently facing a charge of simple battery, but the New Orleans Advocate reported that authorities originally were pursuing a warrant for a misdemeanor sexual battery charge. Apparently that was so ridiculous, the judge rejected it.

This is a developing story.
