LSU Tigers Barfight Leads to Suspensions
Two LSU football players were suspended after being arrested for their alleged involvement in a brutal bar fight. Quarterback Jordan Jefferson and Linebacker Josh Johns were released on bail after being charged with second degree felony battery.
Last Friday, Jefferson and Jones were part of a brawl that injured 4, including a victim who was allegedly kicked in the face by both Jefferson and Jones. According to the police report, the fight started when one of the victims asked (or possibly yelled at) a group of 10-15 LSU players to move a vehicle which was blocking the victim's vehicle. The players then pulled the victim out of his pickup and began beating him. Another victim attempted to help and was beaten as well.
Yet another black eye for college sports. LSU's arm had to be twisted to suspend Jefferson with the game against rival Oregon looming. Instead of displaying better judgment (of course, the allegations still must be proven) and preparing for LSU's opener, Jefferson and Jones now await indictment by a grand jury.
