Three Police Officers Placed On Leave For Pulling Guns On LSU Football Player

Three Baton Rouge police officers have been placed on paid administrative leave after a Louisiana State University football player claimed that he was “violated numerous times” by the officers during a hostile weekend incident. 

Freshman LSU wide receiver Koy Moore documented the incident in a lengthy Instagram post on Sunday. He claims that on Saturday night, the officers racially profiled him, which resulted in them drawing their weapons.

“Last night I was approached by policeman they pulled guns on me assuming I had a gun and drugs, (screaming where’s your gun?),” he detailed. “I was violated numerous times even as going as far as trying to unzip my pants in search of a weapon that I repeatedly told them I did not have.”

During the altercation, Moore says that officers “snatched” his cell phone from him as he tried to record what was happening. 

“I could’ve lost my life, and I know for a fact nothing would’ve happened to the guys who did it,” he added. 

BRPD did confirm that they sent officers to break up a large party nearby where Moore was confronted. However, by the time officers arrived, the gathering had already dispersed. It is unclear if there were reports of a person with a gun at the party or whether Moore was even in attendance. 

Baton Rouge Police Chief Murphy Paul confirmed on Monday that the officers were placed on leave following Moore’s claims. 

“We appreciate Mr. Moore bringing this incident to our attention. As in every case, we will be collecting all available evidence and conducting interviews. Accountability and transparency are critical in building trust with the community. I pledge a thorough investigation into this complaint,” Paul said in the statement posted to Twitter.

Moore added in his Instagram post that his being a player for LSU is likely what saved his life during the encounter. 

“If I didn’t tell those incompetent officers that I was a LSU football player there’s is no telling if I would’ve been here to tell the story!”

LSU head coach Ed Orgeron also took to Twitter about the incident, saying that the university is also investigating the incident alongside BRPD. 

“While I cannot comment on the investigation, what I can say is that we must work collectively to embrace our differences. We have to listen, learn and come together to combat social injustice and racism if we are able to create a safer and more equitable society for all people.”
