No arrests after LSU players meet with police

LSU starting quarterback Jordan Jefferson and three teammates met several hours with police today to discuss a bar fight that allegedly involved them, then left without any arrests being made or charges filed. Offensive lineman Chris Davenport and linebacker Josh Johns were the first to leave. Jefferson and receiver Jarvis Landry left nearly an hour later. Authorities say four people were injured in the fight Thursday night at Shady’s, a Tigerland bar, and that one person’s injuries were serious enough that two unspecified players could be arrested on felony battery charges. The four players have hired defense attorney Nathan Fisher, who also attended the meetings with police but declined to be interviewed as he walked to his car afterward. Sgt. Don Stone, a police spokesman, says Police Chief Dewayne White is not giving LSU players any special treatment, and that the investigation would continue regardless of how much cooperation they received from the players. Witnesses described one of the victims as having been kicked in the head while lying on the ground, Stone says. He has declined to specify who did the kicking or who got kicked. Stone says the four named LSU players are currently the only people of interest in the case. But he added that investigators are still interviewing witnesses and more players could have been involved. Authorities have obtained security video from a business neighboring the bar, which is in a strip mall just south of campus.
