Charles Oakley Supposedly Scuffled With Security at Vegas Resort Aria

Charles Oakley is arguably the most terrifying man on the planet, even though it appears from his social media interactions on Twitter and Facebook that he's probably a pretty nice fella.

From his days beating up people on the court with the Bulls and Knicks to his current "gig" of keeping sorority girls, groupies and gawkers away from Michael Jordan, it's abundantly clear that he is not to be trifled with.

However, based on the twitpic you see to the right (which come via Nicole Tucker, Executive Casino Host at Caesars Palace), it sure look like someone actually managed to take Oakley down to Chinatown.

The first obvious question is: "Who's tough enough to do that?"

The answer appears to be security at Aria, a nightclub in Vegas (we've reached out to them for comment but haven't yet heard back):

Now Oakley has already mentioned on Twitter that his purple cast isn't that color because he's cheering for the Lakers. (Perhaps an acknowledgment that he got roughed up?)

But the how and whys remain in question, and unwritten Vegas rules be damned, we better find out exactly what happened. Because based on the photo above, the story is probably going to be pretty awesome.
