East Baton Rouge District Attorney Hillar Moore III told The Advocate on Thursday that he will pursue charges against two men accused of holding LSU defensive end Sam Montgomery and sophomore quarterback Zach Mettenberger at gunpoint June 5.
Montgomery and Marcus Adams, 22, engaged in a physical altercation in a parking lot outside West Campus Apartments, according to the incident report. The report further states Adams wrestled Montgomery to the ground, and when Montgomery stood up, Robert Davis, 31, pointed a handgun at Montgomery, who pleaded for his life.
Mettenberger tried to intervene when Adams, a University student, pulled out his gun, according to the report. Davis and Adams then drove away and were later arrested by an officer responding to shots fired.
“We made the arrests that evening, and basically it’s in the [district attorney’s] hands at this point,” said LSUPD spokesman Capt. Cory Lalonde.
LSU coach Les Miles said Thursday that he investigated the incident thoroughly.
“Certainly our guys were victims in that issue,” Miles said.
