Rams WR Demarcus Robinson suing hotel where he was robbed at gunpoint

In October, Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson was robbed at gunpoint outside a Los Angeles hotel. The two thieves stole $100,000 worth of jewelry from Robinson, who thankfully was not injured in the incident.

Now, Robinson is suing the hotel where the robbery occurred. According to TMZ Sports, he filed a lawsuit against the Lexen Hotel in North Hollywood for negligence, seeking $149,500 in damages. In the lawsuit, Robinson claims there were no security guards outside the hotel or in the lobby and that the front desk associates didn’t call the police until the thieves left the scene.

More from TMZ Sports:

Robinson claims he entered the facility through a side entrance after pulling into the parking garage … but when he made his way into the lobby, two masked men pulled guns on him and threatened to murder him.

In the suit, Robinson says the men took nearly $150,000 worth of stuff off of his person during the encounter … including a luxury diamond watch and two diamond chains.

Robinson just finished his first season with the Rams after signing with them as a free agent last offseason. He caught 26 passes for 371 yards and four touchdowns this season, becoming their No. 3 receiver by the end of the year.

Robinson will be a free agent in March.
