Well, this is what happens when you allegedly do things without thinking. I have no idea what OBJ was thinking Monday night, but he has been in the news nonstop ever since.
He handed players what appeared to be money, and now there’s a warrant out for his arrest. Not great at all.

We’ll see what happens with him going forward, but it sounds like the police want to have a talk with him.
Keep checking back for more updates on OBJ when we have them.
