Former LSU football player Charles Scott was arrested Sunday for the alleged rape of an 18-year-old woman at his home in Prairieville, according to a report by The Advocate.
According to the report, Ascension Parish deputies were called to Scott’s home at about 4 a.m. for a reported disturbance. Deputies learned that the disturbance stemmed from an alleged raping of the woman by Scott.
Scott was detained and was later arrested and charged with one count of simple rape. As of Sunday afternoon, no bond had been set.
Scott graduated from LSU following the 2009 season and finished his career with 2,317 rushing yards and 32 touchdowns. The Salina, La., native was drafted in the sixth round of the 2010 NFL Draft by the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Eagles traded Scott to the Arizona Cardinals in August 2010. Scott also spent time on the New York Giants’ practice squad but did not make an NFL roster in 2011.
