Patti LaBelle's Security Beat Up Man For Standing Too Close To Her Luggage

HOUSTON -- A West Point cadet from Houston has filed a lawsuit against Patti LaBelle, her bodyguards and Bush Intercontinental Airport, claiming that he was viciously beaten by the singer's bodyguards for standing too close to her luggage.

In the lawsuit, filed on Wednesday, Richard King claims he was seriously injured at the hands of LaBelle's bodyguards after returning to Houston for spring break on March 11, 2011.

"I woke up the next morning with staples in my head and that's when it really hit me I was just like, 'Wow, what happened,'" said Richard King in a telephone interview.
