Overview

  • JT Lindsey turned himself in to campus police Friday, was arrested on two felony counts of accessory after the fact to second-degree murder and posted $5,000 bond before release.
  • An arrest warrant alleges Lindsey allowed murder suspects Shemell Jacobs and Keldrick Jordan to stay in his LSU dorm using his student ID and PIN and that surveillance shows him with them as early as July 24.
  • Law enforcement officers discovered two AR-15 rifles, a Draco and a Glock in Lindsey’s dorm when U.S. Marshals apprehended the suspects in apartment 4071 of Riverbend Hall on August 4.
  • LSU suspended Lindsey from all football activities pending the legal process, creating immediate depth concerns for a Tigers backfield that entered fall camp with limited scholarship options.
  • Lindsey’s attorney, Kris Perret, maintains that his client was unaware the individuals were wanted, says he’s fully cooperating with investigators and looks forward to clearing his name.
