Trey Lealaimatafao, a former LSU defensive tackle who was dismissed from the football team in June 2015, was arrested with former Southern California tight end Bryce Dixon in Los Angeles on Tuesday, according to a report by the Los Angeles Times.
The report states Lealaimatafao and Dixon are suspected to be involved in “at least seven robberies,” over two days, spanning the Los Angeles and Ventura counties. Their bond is set at $100,000 apiece on suspicion of carjacking.
Lealaimatafao, a former four-star prospect according to ESPN, arrived at LSU in 2014 from Earl Warren High School in San Antonio, Texas. Before redshirting his freshman season, Lealaimatafao required serious medical attention to his bicep after punching a window in the Tiger weight room.
Just a week later, he was arrested for theft of an unlocked bicycle, which was stationed outside of Middleton Library. The final straw for Lealaimatafao was his arrest outside of Reggie’s Bar, where he was charged with simple battery and simple robbery on June 18, 2015. LSU coach Les Miles announced his dismissal on June 29, 2015.
Lealaimatafao transferred to Arizona Western College after being dismissed from the LSU program.
