Javon Walker Found Unconscious In Hotel Driveway

KVVU-TV, Channel 5 in Las Vegas, is reporting that NFL All-Pro wide receiver Javon Walker was found unconscious on East Flamingo Road and Koval Lane in the driveway at Summer Bay Resort about 7 a.m. Monday morning...

Javon, who signed with the Oakland Raiders in the off-season, had spent about six hours at Las Vegas night club Body English before leaving around 6:30 a.m. It was the second night in a row that Javon had purchased 15 or more bottles of Dom Perignon Rose at a Vegas night club to spray the crowd. He did the same thing at Tryst early Sunday.

Javon was taken to Sunrise Medical Center’s Trauma unit with "significant injuries," according to police. He was listed in fair condition with a fractured eye socket.

Javon, no stranger to violent altercations, was in a limo on New Year's Day 2007 when former teammate, Denver Broncos defensive back Darrent Williams, was shot in a drive-by outside a Denver nightclub. Darrent died in Javon's arms.

Published reports in Denver said just before the shooting some Broncos players had been spraying the crowd with champage, triggering a confrontation between the players and some club-goers who flashed gang signs. Darrent was shot when a car pulled up beside the limo.

At the time, Javon asked Broncos coach Mike Shanahan for permission not to attend Darrent's funeral in Texas, saying he was too distraught. Instead, he flew to Las Vegas the weekend of the funeral and was seen partying at Tryst.
