Description

Just after 2:00 am on January 3, 2016 then Seattle Seahawks linebacker Nick Moody was at the San Diego Hard Rock Hotel with a group of friends, on their way back to Moody's two hotel rooms following a night on the town. As the group approached the hotel elevators Moody thought he heard a group of men say "What's he doing here?"

In reality no one had said anything - and the men were hotel security guards - but Moody interpreted what he thought he had heard as a racist comment and immediately decided to deal with it. With his fists.

When Moody first approached the guards they assumed that he wanted their assistance with his elevator keycard, but they quickly discovered that Moody had other plans.

Following a skirmish that seriously injured one of the guard's knees, Moody and his party left the hotel. The guards all wrote detailed reports but their reports were missing a key detail: Moody's identity. All they knew about their assailant is that he "was in the NFL." Importantly, however, Moody assumed that he had been identified.

The following morning hotel security called the San Diego Police Department to file a report about the incident and an officer was dispatched to the hotel. Just as that officer was wrapping up his investigation he learned that a guest had arrived complaining that a group of security guards had jumped him the night before. Bingo. NFL player identified.

The police officer had already seen video footage clearly showing that the security guards were not at fault, but he went to speak with Moody and took his side of the story.

This video begins just after the officer has finished taking Moody's statement. It contains body-worn camera footage, security camera footage of the incident itself, audio of a detective's phone call to Moody, and court records from Moody's criminal prosecution.
