Lousiana State University offensive lineman Adrian Magee has been arrested and subsequently suspended from the LSU football team.
First-year head coach Ed Orgeron announced on Wednesday, April 26, that Magee had been suspended indefinitely for violating team rules. Magee was then arrested just a couple of hours later. According to Magee’s arrest warrant, Magee is accused of committing burglary at an apartment on West Chimes Street in Baton Rogue.
According to Baton Rouge Police, the unidentified victim returned to his apartment just before 12:00 A.M. on April 1, where he found that the door to his apartment was forced open and he was missing electronic items and cash.
The victim says he began searching through his apartment to assess the damage when Magee stuck his head through the open door and asked the victim if he had been burglarized. The victim, who said he is an LSU football fan, recognized Magee because he was wearing clothes with his football jersey number on it.
Magee, after telling the victim he was going to check his security cameras to see who burglarized his apartment, soon returned with several of the victim’s belongings. The burglarized items included an Xbox gaming console, six Xbox games, Gucci flip flops, an Onyx Bluetooth speaker, and $1,200 cash stolen from the apartment. The victim’s girlfriend’s purse was also dumped out.
Magee, a sophomore who played in three games last season as a redshirt freshman, was arrested and booked on one count of simple burglary of an inhabited dwelling.
