LSU Tigers Star Wide Receiver Kyren Lacy Arrested, Charged with Felonies
LSU Tigers standout wide receiver Kyren Lacy was arrested and booked into a Louisiana jail on multiple charges on Sunday. Lacy, 24, was charged with negligent homicide and hit-and-run driving with serious injury or death, both of which are felonies. He was also charged with reckless operation with accident.
Lacy’s bond was set at $151,000, and he was being held at the Lafourche Parish Correctional Complex. The arrest comes after a crash on December 17, 2024, that left a 78-year-old retired U.S. Marine dead and injured two others.
According to Louisiana State Police, Lacy was allegedly driving recklessly – speeding and passing in a no-passing zone – when another motorist swerved to avoid him and crashed head-on into another vehicle. Lacy fled the scene without rendering aid or attempting to assist.
The arrest warrant was issued for Lacy last week, and he did not play in LSU’s Texas Bowl victory against Baylor on December 31. He had declared for the NFL Draft two days earlier.
Lacy had 58 catches for 866 yards and nine touchdowns in 12 games for LSU during the 2024 season.
