The Louisiana authorities have issued an arrest warrant for Odell Beckham Jr., a star wide receiver for the Cleveland Browns, for simple battery after he appeared to slap the buttocks of a police officer after college football’s national title game on Monday night.
A police official in New Orleans said she had no other details about the warrant, and a court official said a copy of it was not yet available.
The episode, recorded on a video, took place in the locker room of Louisiana State after the university, where Beckham played for three seasons, won the title by beating Clemson.
