LSU senior wide receiver Terrence Toliver was tased by police officers after an altercation in Baton Rouge’s Tigerland area on Saturday night, according to a Baton Rouge Police Department report.
The report said Toliver and LSU freshman basketball player Dennis Harris were arrested and issued citations.
Toliver was charged with disturbing the peace, public intoxication and resisting an officer, while Harris’ charges included interfering with a police officer and entering or remaining after being forbidden.
A third man in the altercation, identified as Timothy Moran, was also charged with disturbing the peace and public intoxication.
None of the three were booked into parish prison, according to the report.
LSU sports information director Michael Bonnette said LSU football coach Les Miles has talked to Toliver on the phone about the incident and will meet with him in person Monday.
Bonnette said Miles is still gathering information before making a decision about Toliver’s future and that no decision has been made as to whether or not Toliver will practice with the team Tuesday.
“I’m hesitant to say he is going to practice or he’s not going to practice,” Bonnette said. “I don’t know what his answer is going to be for Tuesday … At this time, there is no decision made on whether he’s going to practice or not.”
Kent Lowe, LSU senior associate sports information director, said LSU men’s basketball coach Trent Johnson will meet with Harris sometime Monday morning to discuss the incident. Lowe said Johnson will address the incident with the media Monday afternoon.
