Bradley Beal told assembled media a crazy story about an interaction with a police officer from his past. Beal marched for social justice reforms with teammates from the Washington Wizards on Friday and afterwards recounted a story of police harassment that happened to him just two years ago.
Beal is alleging that in 2018 he was threatened by a police officer in the Washington D.C. area during a traffic stop. The Washington Wizards star claims he was pulled over on I-495 while driving with his wife a and a friend. The officer asked him to get out of the car then said to him, "What if I f*** up your Monday and put you in a headline and arrest you?"
