Charged with misdemeanors last night but not arrested. Don't expect much to come of it given Tolliver has never had any issues before and he told Miles he was breaking up a fight when these incidents occurred. WBRZ News 2 Louisiana : Baton Rouge, LA | Toliver issued misdemeanor citation for altercation
It has been a long time since I've read ANYTHING about LSU football players in trouble. Hope he doesn't miss much Spring - if any. Wonder if Xavier Carter was there...
given toliver hasnt shown himself to be a trouble maker in the past, i want to believe what he says about breaking it up. and bandit is right. its been a long time since we have heard anything like this about players in the lsu football program. that makes me proud of the character of the young men miles and company seem to be recruiting and type of program they are running. i mean i know no program, including ours, is spotless, but thank god we arent gangsta u. and that a prius wasnt involved.:hihi:
Dismissing Perriloux got everybody's attention and the team started behaving themselves. I expect Les to treat this seriously to keep things that way. The police don't Taze you for trying break up a fight. They do it when you get beligerent in their face and resist arrest. Tolliver will receive some kind of discipline.
THere is always more to the story and he did resist an officer. However, I have seen people tased for no reason at all. With no arrest, I don't see much coming of it.
Technically it was an arrest; a misdemeanor summons. He will still have to go to court, if it isn't tossed out before then.
I understand all of that but my point is that the cops did not see it necessary to book them. I see Toliver possibly sitting out a few practices.
Fitting with what you said earlier, there are relatively few misdemeanors that can land someone in Parish Prison. Also, his status would be considered. It's possible that Miles will take this as a chance to set an example, but I think Tolliver will just be in the doghouse awhile.
