The Baton Rouge Police Department released an incident report Thursday regarding the Shady’s Bar altercation last Friday, confirming senior quarterback Jordan Jefferson and sophomore linebacker Josh Johns’ involvement.

Lowery and the female witness were the only two interviewed in the police report.
