Walker: I Was Victim of Shotgun Offense

Posted Jun 17th 2008 11:57PM by TMZ Staff

Javon WalkerJust moments after getting out of oral surgery to fix his broken face, NFL star Javon Walker blew the lid off his mysterious beatdown -- claiming he was abducted out of his Las Vegas hotel room by gun-toting thugs early Monday morning.

In an exclusive statement to TheDirty.com Walker said, "I was just back at my room and at about 5:30 in the morning, I got a knock at the door, I opened it and three guys with guns were there, they cracked me in the head a few times knocking me unconscious. They then robbed me of everything I had -- my watch, money -- everything! Somehow they got me to the car and dropped me off in the street. That's what happened."

Walker, who just signed a $55 million dollar contract with the Oakland Raiders, also says reports that the robbery stems from the champagne wars with Floyd Mayweather at Body English nightclub earlier in the evening are completely false.

46. Stop bad mouthing the Raiders they are not all bad. My cousin played for the Raiders for years and he is a good man. Walker made some bad choices and now he must suffer from them. These professional Athletes should get some training on how to live/act/behave when they get these contracts. Most of the never had money so when they get it they flaunt it and this is what happens. He will suffer again for this, this wont be the last time something like this happens to him or another player. They should not get all of the money that they get when they become players.

47. the local news over here in vegas said he was found on Koval street. i used to live there, but Harrahs booted us out and tore down the building. lot's of drug dealing, prostitution and thugs roaming around looking for people that have strayed off the strip. once they get on Koval they are promptly rolled for all they have. obviously he was out there looking for women or drugs.

48. Just to let tmz know, these morons were actually partying at Body English as i was there... wearing that amount of bling out and spraying champagne on crowds draws the wrong attention from the wrong people

50. What happened to this man is awful, but I don't understand why someone would go around showing off how much money and how much in property you have on you and expect not to get robbed. There are criminals everywhere.

Maybe he should proceed with caution next time.

55. As the TV Sports Reporters always say... "LET'S GO TO THE TAPE!"

'Cause if Javon was in a hotel, I'd assume it was a nice one. And the nice ones have video cameras ALL OVER THE PLACE.

I'm not saying that he's lying, but if 3 thugs did beat him down and drag him out of his room and into a car -- hotel security cams woulda caught something.

56. The champagne war definitely happened!!!!!!! It may not be the reason for the mugging, but the war did happen. It was super fun, from personal experience.

Posted at 2:14PM on Jun 18th 2008 by javon yes it did happen

57. I was at the club that night in vegas, it was at body english at the hard rock , they were going bottle for bottle but they didnt not seem like it was at all against eachother... in fact it looked like they were partying together and then mayweather held a private party at his suite on the 11 floor...( Sick suite by the way ) ... All of my boyz went to the party and said javon was partying like eveyone else, no sign of hostility..... But he had no body guard or security with him all night .... perfect target for anyone !! He just needs to be smarter next time .. all that money he needs to get himself a security team , next time he goes out !

58. He's lying. If someone robs you in a hotel room, why would they bother to haul you out into the street if you were already unconscious? Also, why open the door at 5:30 a.m. unless you have ordered an early breakfast?
