Johnny Manziel served with court papers while partying in Los Angeles

Former Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel was served with court papers while clubbing in Los Angeles early Thursday morning.

Manziel was served with papers as he exited a Hollywood club, and was seen a short time later entering another bar.

Manziel is being sued by a man who rented out his 5,000 square-foot LA house to the former Heisman Trophy winner, who rented the property under the name “Travis.” Manziel promptly threw a party at the house, causing more than $30,000 in damage — not including a $10,000 “party fine” that he agreed to pay if things got out of hand.

Manziel is also facing criminal charges in Texas relating to a domestic dispute with his ex-girlfriend.

Manziel is currently a free agent after he was released by the Browns in March.
