Rewind to May 2010. Las Vegas, Nevada. The Aria Resort and Casino.
Former NBA player and current Charlotte Bobcats Assistant Coach Charles Oakley suffered a broken arm at the hands of hotel security.
According to Vegas Inc, attorney’s for Oakley have filed suit against Aria in Las Vegas’ Clark County Circuit Court.
LINK to story…
- “After a verbal altercation” with security officers, Oakley attempted to return to his room when he was “assaulted” by the officers in a secluded area of the resort, the lawsuit alleges.
The suit called this a “gang-style beatdown” by at least five security officers and says they wrestled Oakley to the ground, punched him, handcuffed him and detained him before he was taken by paramedics to Desert Springs hospital for treatment in the emergency room.
I will keep watch on this situation. In the meantime, Oakley deserves a place in Ballertainment’s Salt and Pepper Club. Stay tuned for that post…..
