Arrest warrant issued for LSU quarterback Jordan Jefferson

Who's the bowl chairman for this game?

 

Fear the Gopher:

 

But doesn't want ESPN the teams to be good? If so, why would they want Jefferson playing ;D

 

Dave Winfield doesn't like this.

 

To answer the question, they are suspended indefinitely, which would imply until there's resolution, at which case they would use the results of the case to judge ultimate length of suspension.

 

Jefferson and defensive tackle Josh Johns have been suspended indefinitely. No way they play against Oregon, but I would guess they'll be back by the Sept. 17 SEC opener at Mississippi State.

 

(Johns is a linebacker ... or was a linebacker).

It may be more a matter of Jefferson using the redshirt year he has never used. The case will now take weeks to resolve since it's a felony.

 

Yeah, you're right. I was thinking of one of the other guys that was mixed up in this, Chris Davenport.

 

He's ok with it:

Maybe it was some of that family anger that came out the night Winfield inserted his fist into the most infamous brawl in college basketball history. Besides starring in baseball as a freshman and sophomore at Minnesota, Winfield had been so dominating on his intramural basketball team, the Soulful Strutters, that basketball coach Bill Musselman invited him to try out for the varsity as a junior. Winfield made the team and was sitting on the bench during a game against Ohio State on Jan. 25, 1972.

And he came off that bench, he says, "like I was spring-loaded," when a fight broke out, an ugly affair that matched Buckeye center Luke Witte's face against the feet of several Gopher players. Winfield found Ohio State reserve Mark Wager, who was already down, and punched him five times hard in the head and face. "Hey, I'm not denying I was involved," Winfield says. "There was a fight with my team. I was swinging."

This Is The Bloodied Marine That LSU’s Jordan Jefferson Allegedly Kicked In The Face
We were sent this image purporting to be of the good samaritan, returning from Marine Corps training, who rushed to break up a Baton Rouge bar fight and ended up getting pummeled by at least four LSU players. We've been unable to confirm—the cops have instituted a media blackout, to the extent that they can in a college town when the college's stars are involved. But the EXIF data in the photograph, and the East Boyd Plaza sign in the background place it in the right time and place: the parking lot of Shady's Bar, early Friday morning. It's no surprise, then, that LSU has enlisted one of the most powerful lawyers in the state.

What went down at Shady's? Facts are scarce. We know that at least four LSU players, all of whom were supposed to be tucked in for the night, were there after sneaking out of the dorms.

"At the 10:30 p.m. check-in Thursday night all players were accounted for," said coach Les Miles. "The ones who were at Shady's Bar at 1:30 a.m. broke curfew."

The Times-Picayune's Jim Kleinpeter reports that "about 50" players broke curfew that night, a tradition for the final day of camp.

Starting quarterback Jordan Jefferson, Jarvis Landry, Chris Davenport and Josh Johns met with police for two hours yesterday to answer questions and give their side of the story, a story that's been colored by rumor after rumor. But no one's yet contradicted the initial account:
Several people who claim to have witnessed the incident tell 9NEWS that around 2 a.m. Friday, a young man driving a truck blew his horn to get a group of people blocking the driveway to move out of the way at Shady's Bar on East Boyd Ave. That's when they say a group of people pulled the driver out of the truck and began beating him. That's when they say a Marine who had just returned from training ran to assist the driver and was beaten and thrown to the ground. Multiple people who claim to have witnessed the incident tell 9NEWS LSU quarterback Jordan Jefferson then kicked the Marine in the head.

Police later confirmed only that among the four injured, a Marine was knocked unconscious and suffered contusions to his head, nose and hands. (UPDATE: WBRZ is identifying the injured man as Andrew Lowery.) The latest BRPD news release remains sorely lacking in detail.
