An LSU women’s basketball player was jailed Saturday night.
MiLaysia Fulwiley was arrested and charged with aggravated battery, obedience to police officers, flight from an officer, aggravated assault and resisting an officer as a result of a traffic incident at the intersection of Burbank Drive and West Lee according to a report from WAFB.
Allegedly, Fulwiley failed to obey police directions to come to a stop and hand over her drivers license. According to WAFB’s report, arrest records suggest Fulwiley was told to back her vehicle up and, instead, drove forward and allegedly struck an officer with her vehicle, a gray Dodge Charger. She then fled the scene.
A responding officer cut her off on Highland Road and made the arrest.
Fulwiley played 35 games for LSU last season and averaged 14.6 points per game. She has started all four LSU games this season and is averaging 17.8 points per game.
