FARMERVILLE, La. – LSU running back Trey Holly has been arrested on multiple felony charges, including second-degree attempted murder. Sheriff Dusty Gates of Union Parish Sheriff’s Office in Louisiana announced the arrest on Thursday, stating that Holly also faces charges of aggravated criminal damage to property and illegal use of a weapon.
Holly turned himself in at noon on Thursday with his attorney present and is currently being held on a $512,000 bond. Following the arrest, LSU athletics released a statement announcing Holly’s indefinite suspension from the team.
The arrest stems from an incident that took place at two apartment complexes in Farmerville, La., around 10:30 p.m. local time on Friday. Two other individuals, including a 17-year-old, have also been arrested in connection to the incident. According to Sheriff Gates, an ongoing dispute between a group of individuals led to a violent confrontation, resulting in gunfire. Two bystanders were injured and have since been transported to medical facilities, where they are now in stable and good condition.
The investigation is ongoing, with Sheriff Gates anticipating more arrests in connection to the incident. Holly, a native of Farmerville, had a promising start to his college football career, recording 11 carries for 110 yards as a freshman last season. He also made a name for himself in high school, breaking the state’s all-time rushing record with 10,523 yards during his time at Union Parish High School.
The arrest and subsequent suspension from the LSU football team have sent shockwaves through the college football community, leaving fans and sports analysts alike stunned. The university has yet to release further details regarding the incident or Holly’s status with the team. As the investigation unfolds, the community is left grappling with the repercussions of this unfortunate event.
