Charges filed in LSU football bar fight case | NOLA.com
Baton Rouge - A Baton Rouge Police Department spokesman said Monday that charges have been filed in the case of four LSU football players accused of taking part in a bar fight last week.
Public information officer Sgt. Don Stone said warrants can't be issued until police are ready to make an arrest and that warrants will be issued "at the conclusion of the investigation, which could be this week, could be a week from now or could be in two weeks. It may come to that."
The players - quarterback Jordan Jefferson, offensive tackle Chris Davenport, linebacker Josh Johns and wide receiver Jarvis Landry - and their attorney, Nathan Fisher, are supposed to meet with police but the meeting had not been scheduled as of 6 p.m. Monday.
Stone said Police Chief Donald White has been in contact with LSU to set up the meeting. Fisher said he had a 6:15 p.m. meeting Monday with LSU Coach Les Miles.
"Charges have already been filed," Stone said. "Once we initiate the investigation and speak to the victims and they indicate they want us to pursue a complaint, charges are filed."
Four men were injured in the fight and treated afterward at local hospitals. The four have retained local attorney Michael Bienvenu and are pressing charges.
"We would not be conducting this investigation if somebody didn't want us to," Stone said. "When we conclude our investigation, we will secure arrest warrants for those people that we determine are responsible, arrest them and then bring them in and place them in the parish prison .
"If the players never come in and talk to us, we will continue our investigation without talking to them. If the evidence support the allegations, warrants will be issued for their arrests and we'll arrest them whether they come to speak to us or not."
