New Orleans police say a warrant has been issued for actor Cuba Gooding Jr. after a morning incident at a French Quarter bar. The New Orleans Police Department have issued a misdemeanor battery warrant after receiving a complaint that the 44-year-old actor pushed a female bartender at a Bourbon Street bar early Tuesday morning, TMZ reports.
According to reports, the Oscar-winner got into a heated argument with fellow bar patrons who were trying to take his photograph at The Old Absinthe House.
He was then asked to leave by a female bartender. Things reportedly turned physical and Gooding Jr. allegedly shoved the female staffer who had asked him to vacate the premises.
Gooding Jr. is in New Orleans filming The Butler, the story of a White House butler who served eight presidents over the course of 30 years.
His publicist said a statement would be issued later Tuesday.
