A judge ordered former LSU quarterback Jordan Jefferson back to jail on Tuesday, and this time he may be there for a while.
District Judge Chip Moore ordered that Jefferson report to jail at 2 p.m. Tuesday, as well as undergo a substance abuse evaluation.
The order came after Moore ruled that Jefferson’s arrest last week on drug charges was a violation of his bond agreement related to his arrest last year.
“We expected this,” said Lance Unglesby, Jefferson’s lawyer. “Jordan does not see himself as above the process, and this is a process universally applied by Judge Moore.”
Jefferson was arrested and charged with simple battery in 2011 for his involvement in a fight at Shady’s Bar.
According to reports by WAFB, Jefferson may have to remain in jail until his next court hearing on Dec. 12, but could be released sooner after undergoing a personal evaluation.
“Jordan is a very humble, fine young man and looks forward to the day when all of this is behind him,” Unglesby said.
