BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - A freshman LSU football running back turned himself in to university police early Friday afternoon after an arrest warrant was issued for him on a charge of accessory after the fact, his attorney said.

The player, JT Lindsey of Alexandria, is accused of allowing two men wanted for murder to stay at his dorm room on the LSU campus earlier this year.

His defense lawyer, Kris Perret, said even though Lindsey is now facing a criminal charge, Lindsey was unaware that those individuals were wanted for murder and was at football camp as this all played out.

Perret said there are no allegations that his client had any involvement in the underlying crimes.

However, Lindsey’s arrest warrant alleges he knew that his two friends were wanted by police. The warrant says investigators “interviewed an associate of Lindsey, who advised that Lindsey has told the associate, prior to their apprehension, that Jacobs and Jordan were wanted for murder.” The warrant, signed Wednesday August 6 by District Judge Brad Myers, alleges Lindsey “knowingly harbored and aided Jacobs and Jordan.”

It’s believed the pair had been staying in his LSU on-campus apartment for nearly two weeks, a source familiar with the case told the WAFB I-TEAM.

A source tells the WAFB I-TEAM that marshals found multiple guns in the apartment-style dorm, including two AR-15 rifles, a Draco, and a Glock.
