Officer Who Was Slapped By Odell Beckham Jr. Says He Wanted To “Punch” Him Back
The officer who got smacked on the butt by Odell Beckham Jr. really wanted to put the paws on him after the embarrassing moment.
According to NOLA.com, the 48-year-old lieutenant who has not been named, said his first reaction was to “punch” Beckham; the former LSU player, but decided it was best to remain cool.

Instead, he waited to the next day to call on the New Orleans Police Department to press charges, according to court records. But, as of Thursday morning, police had obtained a warrant to arrest the Cleveland Browns wide receiver on a count of simple battery.
As we previously reported, the officer was policing the other LSU players in the locker who were smoking a cigar to celebrate their win. In the clip, Beckham can be seen randomly smacking the officer from behind. It’s unclear if Odell was in a celebratory mood or just annoyed with the officer when he did it. Either way, it landed him in some trouble.
As of right now, Beckham, who played his prep football at New Orleans’ Isidore Newman School, hasn’t surrendered to authorities nor been arrested in connection with the accusation of simple battery as of yet.
