LSU QB Jennings, 3 other players suspended

LSU coach Les Miles has suspended quarterback Anthony Jennings and three other players indefinitely following their arrests.

Jennings is from Marietta.

LSU police have booked Jennings, defensive back Dwayne Thomas and defensive tackle Maquedius Bain with unauthorized entry of a residence.

“We have suspended these players," Miles said in a statement. "It has been our policy to suspend players who have been involved with legal issues. I have met with all three players involved extensively. We are still working with campus housing and the authorities to determine what exactly took place. This is an on-going investigation and our players will cooperate fully.”

Defensive lineman Trey Lealaimatafao has been booked by Baton Rouge Police with simple battery and attempted simple robbery. Police say Lealaimatafao dug through the pockets of a man knocked unconscious outside a bar and punched the man's girlfriend.
