Malik Nabers, a star wide receiver for LSU, was arrested Monday on Bourbon Street in New Orleans. ESPN reports the 19-year-old was booked into jail Tuesday on a misdemeanor charge of illegal carrying of a weapon.
A spokesperson for LSU told ESPN that Nabers has been released and was not required to post bail. LSU head coach Brian Kelly is aware of the incident, but has not yet released a statement on the matter, as the “school is still gathering information.”
According to the New Orleans Police Department, Nabers’ arrest took place around 7:30 p.m., though the LSU player wasn’t booked into the Orleans Parish Jail until 2 a.m. Tuesday morning.
Nabers recently completed his sophomore campaign at LSU, in which he led the Tigers with 72 receptions and 1,017 receiving yards last season.
