LSU Suspends Freshman RB JT Lindsey After Accessory-to-Murder Arrest

He remains suspended from team activities pending trial on two accessory-after-the-fact murder charges after posting a $5,000 bond.

Overview

  • JT Lindsey surrendered to campus police on August 8 after a warrant charged him with two counts of accessory-after-the-fact to second-degree murder for allegedly harboring two suspects in his dorm.
  • A judge set his bond at $5,000, which he posted later that day to secure his release pending further proceedings.
  • LSU suspended him from all football activities under its code of conduct; the university is expected to remove him from the team roster while his felony case unfolds.
  • The two teenagers, identified as 17-year-old Shemell Jacobs and 18-year-old Keldrick Jordan, are accused of killing 17-year-old Corey Brooks in May; they were found in Lindsey’s Riverbend Hall dorm with multiple firearms.
  • Attorney Kris Perret maintains that Lindsey was unaware of the suspects’ alleged crimes; he says Lindsey has been fully cooperative with investigators.
