BATON ROUGE, La. - Four former LSU football players, including quarterback Jordan Jefferson and former Heisman Trophy candidate Tyrann Mathieu, were arrested Thursday on drug-related charges.
Jefferson and Mathieu were charged with simple possession of marijuana, while the other two men - Derrick Bryant and Karnell Hatcher - were booked with simple possession and possession with intent to distribute marijuana.
According to Baton Rouge police, patrol officers were dispatched to an apartment complex in Baton Rouge after a man, later identified as Jefferson, had tried to get into the complex through a security gate and had words with a maintenance worker.
Responding officers went to the apartment Jefferson was seen going into and they were let in by Mathieu. While there, police said they detected a strong scent of marijuana.
Police said Mathieu consented to letting them into the apartment, according to police, and once inside the officers found a marijuana grinder, a digital scale and 10 bags of high-grade marijuana.
The men were booked into the East Baton Rouge jail just before 5 p.m.
