LSU quarterback Anthony Jennings, defensive back Dwayne Thomas, and defensive lineman Maquedius Bain were arrested today in Baton Rouge, according to The Advocate. Thomas is charged with simple burglary and unauthorized entry.

It’s not yet clear what Jennings and Bain were arrested for, or whether these arrests were connected to the allegations on Trey Lealaimatafao, who is accused digging through an unconscious man’s pockets and punching that victim’s girlfriend in the face in a bar fight this past Tuesday.

UPDATE:

UPDATE II: The Advocate has more details:

Jennings, Thomas and Bain’s arrests stem from an event Sunday. The three players, including at least three more black males, entered a West Campus Apartment, a police report says. They did so with the presumed intent to retrieve items that were allegedly stolen from Jennings’ apartment on June 10 – a MacBook Air, three pairs of shoes and a PlayStation 4.

The six or seven males were able to enter the bedroom of one of the residents, completely damaging the door frame and locks, the police report says. The other resident – the victim’s roommate – was there at the time. He identified Thomas as leaving the victim’s room with boxes of shoes and a Sony PlayStation. The laptop had been returned to Jennings earlier in the week, the police report says.
