Frank Salzano, the attorney for Elliott, issued a statement to TMZ regarding the situation.
“Security misconstrued and overreacted to the situation,” Salzano said. “He was cuffed as a precautionary measure. He was released with no charges. He left Vegas that night and went to his [youth football camp in Dallas] on Sunday.”
Though he was not arrested, Elliott could face consequences from the NFL.
