Vontaze Burfict just wanted some pizza while in Las Vegas back in December. It wasn’t just any pizza, but a secret pizza that is hidden in a corner of Vegas’ Cosmopolitan.
The former Cincinnati Bengals linebacker, who earned a reputation and several suspensions for dirty hits on the field, was arrested after he reportedly accused casino security of following him and his friends as they looked for it and a physical altercation kicked off.
TMZ has since dropped the footage of that night and Burfict was certainly emotional throughout.
Burfict is so big that more than half a dozen cops had to pin him down and place him in handcuffs.
“But, Burfict sounded so upset over the tightness of the cuffs … he moaned in apparent pain and yelled, “I can’t breathe!”
Eventually, the 30-year-old football player was taken outside to a squad car … and the police footage shows he was still VERY emotional there, too.
Burfict could be seen sobbing, all while begging cops to loosen his cuffs.”
