Charles Oakley: Beaten Up!

On the court, he was known as a tough rebounder, a fierce defender and a hardhitting enforcer.
But in a reversal of fortunes, Charles Oakley found himself on the receiving end of a beatdown, after an incident in a Las Vegas resort.

Oakley was a guest in the Aria Hotel-Casino's VIP pool area. After briefly leaving the pool area, security personnel refused to allow him back in. This resulted in a shouting match which led to oakley returning to his rooms.

Oakley then claims that the Aria's security personnel s "assaulted" him in a secluded area of the resort.

In his complaint, Oakley says that the officers wrestled him to the ground then punched and handcuffed him. Later, he was brought to the hospital with neck, back, head and wrist injuries.

Oakley was among several VIPs who have participating in Michael Jordan's Celebrity Invitational golf fundraiser presented by Aria. He is currently an assistant coach with the Charlotte Bobcats.
