LSU junior safety Jalen Mills faces charges after allegedly punching a woman last month. East Baton Rouge jail records indicate he was arrested Wednesday morning and booked on a charge of 2nd degree battery.
Michael Bonnette, Associate AD and Sports Information Director at LSU, told WWL Radio that Mills is suspended indefinitely from the football team.
The victim told police she was at Mills' apartment complex when she knocked on Mills' door looking for her friend. Mills opened the door then closed it in the victim's face so she knocked again. When no one came to the door, the victim walked away down the hall. She stated she heard someone say something to her while walking away and when she turned around, Mills punched her in the mouth. She said she was unconscious briefly on the ground, according to the police report. The victim required four stitches in her lip as a result of the alleged attack.
A witness supported the 5-foot-3, 113 pound woman's claim that the 6-foot, 195 pound defensive back punched her.
Police say Mills was out of town when they initially wanted to question him. When Mills did not meet with authorities June 10 ss he had agreed, police issued a warrant for his arrest.
