LSU DT Arrested for Allegedly Hitting Woman in Face in Bar Fight [UPDATE]

Trey Lealaimatafao, a defensive tackle at LSU, is suspended indefinitely after he was arrested today after a fight on Tuesday outside a Baton Rouge bar.  The Advocate details:

"Lealaimatafao, a redshirt freshman from Texas, dug through the pockets of an unnamed male victim after the victim had been beaten unconscious by “unknown suspects” in the parking lot of Reggie’s bar on Tuesday, police records show. Lealaimatafao then punched the victim’s girlfriend in the face with a closed fist when she interfered, police records show. Lealaimatafao continued to dig through the male victim’s pockets after the alleged beating. Three eye witnesses told police that the football player fled the scene when authorities arrived. All three witnesses gave police similar accounts of the incident and identified Lealaimatafao out of a photo lineup."

Lealaimatafao missed last season after hurting his arm by punching glass in the LSU weight room; he was also arrested last summer for allegedly stealing a bike on campus. He is the second LSU player who has been arrested for an alleged violent crime in under a month; in late May, Jevonte Domond was arrested for felony domestic abuse.

UPDATE: A previous version of The Advocate’s story said that Lealaimatafao had beaten the male victim unconscious.
