Denver Broncos TJ Ward Charged With Simple Assault & Disturbing The Peace After Strip Club Incident

Around 2:30am on May 10th, TJ Ward patronized Centerfold Strip Club on the Southeast side of Denver where he allegedly threw a glass at a bartender after she told him no outside drinks were allowed.

According to statements made to police, Ward and two other Broncos players approached the bar to ask for change. Ward wanted $200 in $1 bills and was holding the glass bottle when the bartender asked him to throw away the bottle or take it back to his car. The bartender, said she had no idea who Ward or his entourage were at the time. She says Ward returned to the bar with a nonalcoholic drink purchased at the club and asked for a cup of ice. The bartender then saw him pour from the same bottle he had been told to take outside. The bartender then took the cup and poured out the drink. When she turned to assist another customer, video surveillance showed  Ward pick up a glass mug and throw it at her, the glass hitting her in the arm. When the club’s bouncers approached Ward and his entourage about the thrown glass, he told them he had dropped a glass and that another customer had said he threw it.

Ward was not arrested immediately because he left the scene. On Thursday a warrant was issued and Ward was appeared in court Friday where he was arrested, charged with simple assault and disturbing the peace then released on $1,900 bond.

Sounds to me like someone had entitlement issues and felt some type of way because the bartender didn’t know who he was. Ward is scheduled to return to court on June 23.
