Devin Hester assaulted at Rivers Casino in Des Plaines
Devin Hester assaulted at Rivers Casino in Des Plaines 10/18/2011 1:46 PM
Chicago Bears wide receiver Devin Hester was the victim of a battery Friday at the Rivers Casino in Des Plaines, police said Tuesday.
The assault, which occurred about 10:40 p.m. inside the casino at 3000 S. River Road, was caught on surveillance camera, Des Plaines Police Chief Jim Prandini said.
Daniel G. Rago, 52, of the 200 block of Wille Street in Mount Prospect, is charged with one misdemeanor count of battery as a result.
Police said Hester, 28, was waiting in line for a cashier when Rago approached from behind, slapped the back of Hester's head with an open hand and walked away.
Hester notified casino security and signed a complaint against Rago, who was detained until Des Plaines police arrived and arrested him a short time later.
"Hester was a perfect gentlemen through the whole thing," Prandini said. "There was no argument between them beforehand. (Rago) had been drinking. Mr. Hester did not retaliate in any way, shape or form. He was extremely professional throughout and there was no problem."
Rago later posted 10 percent of a $1,000 bond to go free while the case against him is pending. He is set to appear for a hearing at Cook County's Skokie courthouse at 1:30 p.m. Dec. 1. If found guilty, he could face up to a year in jail or $2,500 fine.

Well Hester's got a lot of reasons not to get into it with someone and one being he's not that big a guy.

How many other Chicago Bears would have been so calm? I'm guessing not many. Most would have decked the guy

Devin ask him if he was on the fantasy team of one of the guys rivals?
I'm getting to that age where a lifetime warranty just doesn't mean as much to me anymore as an afternoon nap.

I asked some people if anyone knew Chris Kluwe's whereabouts on Friday night.

As a practitioner of Krav Maga I can tell you that you'd be a fool to judge a person's fighting skill based on their size. In fact, big guys are inherently disadvantaged because they probably relied on being intimidating their entire lives and never learned to actually fight.
Devin walked away because he's an intelligent MAN. he didn't want the legal drama or worse yet, risk of injury. He wasn't insecure and had to prove he wasn't a punk. Bravo to him.
