CLEVELAND, Ohio — Former Browns receiver Odell Beckham Jr. was spotted being escorted off of an airplane in Miami by three security guards on Sunday.
The Miami-Dade Police Department put out a statement about Beckham’s removal from the flight.
“At approximately 9:30 a.m., officers from the Miami-Dade Police Department were dispatched to a medical emergency at an American Airlines flight,” the statement read. “The flight crew was concerned for a passenger (Mr. Odell Beckham), as they tried to wake him to fasten his seat belt, he appeared to be coming in and out of consciousness, prior to their departure.
“Fearing that Mr. Beckham was seriously ill, and that his condition would worsen through the expected 5 hour flight, the attendants called for the police and fire rescue. Upon the officers arrival, the flight crew asked Mr. Beckham several times to exit the aircraft, which he refused. The aircraft was deplaned, at which time Mr. Beckham was asked by the officers to exit the plane and did so without incident.
“Mr. Beckham was escorted to the non-secure area of the terminal by the officers where he made other arrangements.”
NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero noted that Beckham was not detained or cited after the incident.
The Browns waived Beckham on Nov. 8, 2021.
Hours after news of the incident broke, Beckham’s lawyer released a statement.
