Miami Heat superstar LeBron James got a nice ride to the Justin Timberlake Jay Z concert in Florida the other night with a police escort on the wrong side of traffic while the streets were clogged up, but now the fun ride appears to be under investigation.
According to Pro Basketball Talk, TMZ reports that James' ride to the concert would be a "break" from police protocol, as escorts are usually meant for other types of high-profile people. The concert was at Sun Life Stadium in Miami and the report says that many departments in the area are saying that had nothing to do with it. It also says that Miami-Dade PD will officially look into things with an investigation.
According to TMZ: "LeBron James has police departments all over South Florida throwing up their hands ... disavowing any involvement with the police escort LBJ got to a concert - but TMZ has learned Miami-Dade PD is now officially investigating the matter....
While Miami-Dade initially denied involvement ... an officer with the agency now tells us they are "investigating" because LBJ's escort would've been a break from protocol.
We're told dignitaries typically make a written request for a police escort before an event - and that didn't happen with LBJ."
James took in the Justin Timberlake and Jay Z concert in Miami at Sun Life Stadium on Friday night and with the traffic looking horrible, he was able to jump behind a police escort to get there, because he is LeBron.
James wrote on Twitter: "a police escort on the wrong side of the street" and the video showed him heading towards the stadium for the show. ESPN.com says the video was posted to Twitter and the traffic was crazy around the stadium due to the concert and James was able to get there on time with the escort.
James is coming off his third straight finals appearance, second straight championship and his fourth MVP in five seasons. He's a beast.
