Lafayette police arrested an LSU football player during the morning hours of Jan. 9 after he refused to leave a bar.
Early Doucet, a freshman wide receiver, was involved in an altercation that began after a security guard forced his friend to leave the bar Nite Town. Doucet stood in the exit door, refusing to move. Bar management called police.
After repeatedly refusing to move from the exit door Doucet was arrested and taken to the Lafayette Parish Correctional Center, where he was soon released on bail.
Police reports indicate that no alcohol was involved, and that police did not know Doucet was an LSU football player.
Doucet, from St. Martinville, LA., played in 10 games for LSU last season, catching 18 passes for 257 yards and two touchdowns.
Doucet soon will receive a subpoena to appear in Lafayette City Court.
Head coach Les Miles would not comment until he had spoken with Doucet, said Sports Information Director Michael Bonnette.
Doucet could not be reached for comment before press time.
