The rep also did not reveal why Campos decided to miss out on the ceremony and scheduled interviews afterwards.
‘Right now I’m just concerned where my member is, and what his condition is,” said David Hickey, president of the Security, Police, and Fire Professionals of America. “It’s highly unusual. I’m hoping everything is OK with him and I’m sure MGM or the union will let [media] know when we hear something.”
