Odell Beckham Jr. got the deal he wanted, having joined the Baltimore Ravens on a one-year, $15 million deal. But he could be in some legal trouble as he has been named as a suspect in an ongoing assault investigation.
A woman has made a report against the wide receiver bearing claims he put his hand around her neck at a popular restaurant in Los Angeles several weeks ago.
OBJ has already pushed this back, insisting the claims are bogus.
TMZ is reporting that they’ve been told by police that Beckham was alleged to have assaulted the woman at Delilah in West Hollywood, with the wideout said to have approached her before grabbing her throat lightly.
Both Beckham and his accuser are reported to have remained at the hotspot throughout the night without any further incident. She filed a report a few days later.
Representatives for the 30-year-old said they were not aware of any investigation while noting that the player did nothing wrong.

TMZ reached out to Delilah and was told the following by owner John Terzian.
“We were contacted about an investigation and reviewed the videos, the claim is false. There is no evidence of this person even being in the area where she claims the incident occurred.”
The accusation comes on the back of OBJ securing the aforementioned contract with the Ravens. He can make an additional $3 million in add-ons.
