Witness ID’s Jefferson as kicker

Witnesses to the brawl told WAFB-TV that Jefferson had kicked one of the victims in the head, although BRPD were unable to confirm that claim. However, a police report from the BRPD released earlier today has reinforced those eye witness accounts.

According to the report, a woman by the name of Victoria Long, 19, said she “knows for certain” that she witnessed Jefferson kicking a man in the face during the brawl. That man has been identified by witnesses as Andrew Lowery.

Lowery and Long have given similar accounts to the incident, which involved multiple LSU players allegedly pulling a victim out of a black pickup truck. Lowery and Long claim that Lowery tried to intervene and was beaten and kicked in the face for doing so.

Police have interviewed the four LSU players in question — Jefferson, offensive tackle Chris Davenport, linebacker Josh Johns and wide receiver Jarvis Landry — although no arrests have been made and no charges have been filed.
