'Fistic encounter' lands LSU WR on wrong end of taser

LSU football player Terrance Toliver was cited for “disturbing the peace by fistic encounter; disturbing the peace by public intoxication and resisting an officer” in a scuffle at 2 a.m. outside Fred’s Bar, 1176 Bob Pettit Drive, police spokeswoman Lt. Melissa Salamoni said. Dennis Harris, a redshirt freshman on the LSU men’s basketball team, was cited for “interfering with a police officer” and “entering or remaining after being forbidden” while the incident was under investigation, Salamoni said in a news release. Toliver, 21, of Hempstead, Texas, and Timothy Moran, also 21, were observed fighting in the parking lot outside Fred’s, the news release said. Toliver “refused to comply with officers’ commands and was tased,” the release said. The men were issued summonses and released. LSU coaches and university officials plan to meet with Toliver and Harris today.

“We are in the process of gathering information on this incident,” Tigers football coach Les Miles said in a statement from the university. “We are going to investigate it thoroughly to find out the facts and then act accordingly.”
