LSU star Flau’jae Johnson’s brother has caught a charge after trying to get involved in the melee during Sunday’s game.
Trayron Milton went viral after jumping over the scorer’s table to reach the court when Louisiana State University and the University of South Carolina women’s basketball team members started scuffling. During the SEC Tournament Championship Game, things had been uneasy on the court between multiple ladies on both teams. However, tensions boiled over when South Carolina forward Kamilla Cardoso shoved Johnson, sending her to the ground. That is when 24-year-old Milton jumped out of the stands to his sister’s defense, though he allegedly hurt several people in the process.
According to the Greenville Police Department, while Milton was making his way to the court, he stepped on one SEC employee’s shoulders and pushed down another. By the time he reached the players, Milton only lightly pushed Cardoso before officers quickly whisked him away.
Multiple players from both teams, including Cardoso and Johnson, were ejected once the chaos ended. The game was delayed by 20 minutes. In the end, South Carolina finished the game with six players, while LSU had five. LSU player Angel Reese remained in the matchup and shared in her post-game interview that she was proud of her team despite what transpired.
Milton was booked into a Greenville County jail and has been charged with one count of disorderly conduct and assault and battery in the third degree. It appears that he is still behind bars.
