Arrest warrant issued for Cuba Gooding Jr. in New Orleans

New Orleans cops issued an arrest warrant for Oscar-winner Cuba Gooding Jr. after he allegedly shoved a Bourbon Street bartender this morning, authorities said.

The brouhaha went down at about 3 a.m. at the Old Absinthe House, when the “Boyz n the Hood” actor allegedly pushed around a female suds slinger, police said.

If Big Easy officers ever catch up with Gooding, he’ll be busted for misdemeanor battery.

A rep for Gooding hadn’t yet spoken to the actor about the incident and declined comment.

Gooding had been in New Orleans shooting “The Butler,” a movie about real-life White House butler Eugene Allen who served eight presidents.
