LSU women’s basketball player arrested after allegedly hitting officer with vehicle before fleeing scene

LSU senior guard Milaysia Fulwiley was arrested in Baton Rouge on Saturday night after allegedly hitting a police officer with her car and fleeing. She faces several charges, and the case comes as LSU’s season is under way and the team is due to play Troy on Monday.

According to WBRZ, an officer had told Fulwiley to stop and then instructed her to reverse; she allegedly drove forward into the officer before leaving. Police later stopped the car, and Fulwiley, 21, was taken into custody with a passenger. She is held on a $20,000 bond on charges including aggravated battery, flight from an officer, aggravated assault and resisting an officer. LSU said it had no further comment while the matter is ongoing. Fulwiley has averaged 17.8 points across the Tigers’ first four games.
