LSU women’s basketball star MiLaysia Fulwiley found herself in trouble following the LSU-Texas football game on Saturday night. She was arrested for allegedly striking a police officer with her vehicle prior to fleeing.
According to reports, Fulwiley was allegedly weaving throughout contraflow traffic, leading to being stopped by police. She reversed, then drove forward and that’s when she allegedly hit the officer and proceeded to flee the scene.
She was later stopped on Highland Rd and that’s where
she was arrested and taken to East Baton Rouge Parish Prison. Fulwiley is being charged with aggravated battery, disobedience to police officers, flight from an officer, aggravated assault, and resisting an officer.
LSU officials have responded to inquiries with a statement saying, “We are aware of the situation and have no further comment at this time as it’s an ongoing legal matter.”
Her bond is set at $20,000, per reports
