Former LSU player suspected of involvement in two-day string of robberies
Published:
Former LSU defensive tackle Trey Lealaimatafao, who was kicked off the team back in June before even playing for the Tigers, is suspected of being involved in multiple robberies in California.
According to the Los Angeles Times, police said on Thursday that Lealaimatafao is alleged to be involved in a two-day string of at least seven robberies, including a carjacking. He and his alleged partner in crime, former USC tight end Bryce Dixon, were arrested near the University of Southern California campus on Tuesday.
Both are being held on $100,000 bond after being booked on suspicion of carjacking.
LSU coach Les Miles cut Lealaimatafao — a redshirt freshman at the time — from the team in the summer of 2015 following his arrest on allegations of striking a woman outside of a bar after she tried to prevent him from robbing her unconscious boyfriend.
Meanwhile, Dixon was let go by the Trojans after allegations of non-consensual sex in 2014.
Born and raised in Gainesville, Talal joined SDS in 2015 after spending 2 years in Bristol as an ESPN researcher. Previously, Talal worked at The Gainesville Sun.
