LSU basketball’s Milaysia Fulwiley was arrested after allegedly striking an officer with a vehicle before leaving the scene Saturday night,WBRZ reported.
The senior guard was reportedly driving a gray Dodge Charger and was weaving through traffic in Baton Rouge when an officer yelled at her to stop around 10:19 p.m.
After coming to a stop, Fulwiley allegedly handed over her license to the officer and was instructed to back the vehicle up. Yet after backing up, she allegedly drove forward and hit the officer with the front right side of the vehicle as she fled the scene, according to WBRZ.
Fulwiley is currently booked in East Baton Rouge Parish Prison with a $20,000 bond on multiple charges, including aggravated battery, flight from an officer, aggravated assault and resisting an officer.
The university acknowledged the incident in a statement.
“We are aware of the situation and have no further comment at this time as it’s an ongoing legal matter,” an LSU spokesman told On3.
Fulwiley allegedly went on to drive northbound on West Lee Drive before cutting through a CVS parking lot to elude pursuit, according to WBRZ.
She allegedly drove east on Highland Road before an officer responding to the call cut her off and stopped the car.
The 21-year-old and a passenger were reportedly removed from the vehicle before she was taken into custody.
Fulwiley, a Columbia, S.C., native, has averaged 17.8 points per game through the Tigers’ first four games this season.
She is in her second season with LSU after transferring from South Carolina, where she played her first two college seasons.
LSU is set to face Troy on Monday night at home in Maravich Center.
