LSU QUARTERBACK HAS BEEN ARRESTED!

Jefferson's mugshot from EBRParish Prison

LSU quarterback Jordan Jefferson and linebacker Joshua Johns are turning themselves into police, their attorney, Nathan Fisher, said Friday.


Police had issued arrest warrants charging Jefferson and Johns with second-degree battery for a bar fight that injured four people last week.

LSU promptly suspended Jefferson and Johns indefinitely, the school announced.

Baton Rouge police Sgt. Don Stone said in a statement Friday that investigators contacted Fisher and LSU coach Les Miles, and asked for the players to turn themselves in.

Jefferson and Johns, a linebacker, face felony charges for their alleged roles in a fight outside Shady's bar in Baton Rouge on Aug. 19.

A police report says a 19-year-old woman named Victoria Long said she witnessed several LSU players beating one of the alleged victims and saw Jefferson kick that man in the face.

No. 4 LSU opens its season against No. 3 Oregon at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on Sept. 3.
