The New Orleans police department could withdraw the arrest warrant against Odell Beckham Jr. after a Superdome officer signed an affidavit stating he did not want to press charges against the Browns wide receiver, according to NOLA.com.

Beckham was facing a misdemeanor charge of simple battery for slapping the buttocks of the officer in LSU's locker room after the Tigers beat Clemson in Monday's national championship game.

According to the arrest warrant obtained by NOPD, the stadium police officer was told to enforce the Superdome's no-smoking policy in LSU's locker room.
