With the LSU football season opener against Oregon just 10 days away, the investigation into the incident at Shady’s Bar last Friday could come down to the wire.
Sgt. Don Stone, Baton Rouge Police Department spokesman,  said the investigation could last up to 7 to 10 more days and was confident the investigation would lead to an arrest.
“We have physical evidence. We have people that have been beaten, and we have a medical report,” Stone said. “If the evidence supports the allegations made against these four individuals – the football players – or anyone else that may come up, someone will be players.”
BRPD Chief of Police Dewayne White said the department has received contradicting stories between the two parties, which has slowed the process.
“We have conflicting statements that support one version over the version of the LSU players,” White said. “What we don’t have is a version of an objective third party that has absolutely no ties to either party involved in this
