Washington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal is being investigated by the police following a confrontation with hecklers during last week’s game. Apparently, Bradley wasn’t happy about being heckled and had to confront them and now, the police are investigating the issue following a complaint lodged.
According to TMZ;
The complaint against Beal was lodged on March 22, according to the Orlando Police Dept., roughly 24 hours after the basketball player was involved in a spat with two fans following his team’s 122-112 loss to the Magic in Florida.
The dispute between Beal and the fans arose right after the 29-year-old hooper was walking down a tunnel to the Wizards’ locker room area at Amway Center.
One of the guys in a group yelled at Beal, “You f***ed me [out of] $1,300, you f***!”
Beal then turned, walked toward the fans, and appeared to knock the hat off one of the guys’ heads in response to the heckle.
Beal and the fans then jawed back and forth, with Beal calling the comment “disrespectful.”
“Keep it a buck,” Beal said. “I don’t give a f*** about none of your bets or your parlays, bro. That ain’t why I play the game.”
Things were tense between Beal and the group — with the men exchanging a flurry of words — before the Wizards star was ushered into the locker room without further incident.
The jawing back and forth lasted about 50 seconds.
According to police documents, Beal is being investigated for battery.
It has been another rough season for Beal and Wizards who are struggling to make the playoffs. With that being said it is very weak of the fan to run to the cops after he is the one who cursed at Beal and started the altercation.
Hopefully, the cops see this and decide this isn’t something worth pursuing and they have real crimes to investigate.
