Four LSU football players were suspended indefinitely for arrests in two separate incidents.
According to the Advocate, quarterback Anthony Jennings, cornerback Dwayne Thomas and defensive lineman Maquedius Bain were arrested Thursday on a charge of "unauthorized entry into an inhabited dwelling." Defensive tackle Trey Lealaimatafao was also arrested, but charged with simple battery and simple robbery.
Jennings and Bain left jail Thursday night after each posting their $5,000 bond, while Thomas did as well, but on $10,000 bond for an additional charge of simple burglary. As of Friday, Lealaimatafao was still in jail on $15,000 bond.
Jennings, Thomas and Bain apparently broke into a dorm room on Louisiana State University's (LSU) West Campus last Sunday, the Advocate reported. They broke into the room to try and retrieve items Jennings reported stolen on June 10. Of the items - a laptop, sneakers and a PlayStation 4 - Jennings had only recovered the laptop.
Lealaimatafao was arrested early Thursday morning outside a local bar after he hit the girlfriend of an unconscious man whose pockets he was rifling through. It is unclear if Lealaimatafao took part in the beating of the unconscious man.
"We have suspended these players. It has been our policy to suspend players who have been involved with legal issues," LSU head football coach Les Miles said in a statement, according to ESPN. "I have met with all three players involved extensively. We are still working with campus housing and the authorities to determine what exactly took place. This is an ongoing investigation and our players will cooperate fully."
