Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Southern Highlands Estates is seeking an injunction to force professional boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. to abide by community rules and prohibit him from continuing a “hostile and hazardous course of conduct” toward employees, according to a District Court complaint.
The complaint was filed Tuesday afternoon in Clark County District Court through the Leach, Johnson, Song and Gruchow law firm. It also seeks at least $10,000 in compensatory damages.
The lawsuit alleges that Mayweather has “repeatedly engaged in hostile, harassing and threatening behavior toward and against certain employees and security personnel employees...including but not limited to, threatening the life of a patrol officer, physically accosting a security officer, refusing to provide identity to gate officers” since October 2010.
According to Clark County assessor records, Mayweather bought a $9.5 million, 12,707-square-foot home in the gated community in May 2009.
The suit also alleges that Mayweather refused to obtain a transponder to gain access to the community and has refused to place identification decals on his vehicles.
The injunction would require Mayweather to immediately place transponders in his vehicles, to display identification to security when entering the community, to remain inside the vehicle while at the entrance and to refrain from threatening and harassing security.
Mayweather was arrested Dec. 16 on a misdemeanor battery complaint stemming from a Nov. 15 confrontation over parking tickets between the undefeated champion and a security guard outside Mayweather’s home. The case is still pending.
Representatives for Southern Highlands and Mayweather could not be reached for comment.
