In a major bombshell, LSU rising junior quarterback Anthony Jennings has been arrested for unlawful entry, a source confirmed with Geaux247.

The Advocate's Ross Dellenger reported that Maquedius Bain and Dwayne Thomas were also arrested. Dellenger reported that the trio are in the process of being booked at the prison at 6 p.m. Thursday, said Capt. Cory Lalonde. Thomas is being booked on charges of unauthorized entry and simple burglary. Earlier in the day, news broke that LSU defensive tackle Trey Lealaimatafao had also been arrested in a separate incident.

Jennings started all but one game for the Tigers last season as a sophomore, and he entered the 2015 season expected to compete against Brandon Harris for the starting job.

The Tigers head into the 2015 season with Jennings or Harris the presumed starter after seeing action last fall as a true freshman. Early-enrollee Justin McMillan is the lone other scholarship quarterback on the roster for this season, making the commitment from Feleipe Franks - the No. 1 dual-threat quarterback in the 2016 class - all the more important.

Jennings, Thomas and Bain remain on the team, per a source. Lealaimatafao has been indefinitely suspended.

Stay tuned to Geaux247 for more on this breaking news story.

This stuff is just amazing....and does anyone think the COA supplement will put an end to this stupidity? JMO but I doubt it.

[FHeal 4]

COA (cost of attendance) ?

Doubt it.

If seeing what happens at the college level is not enough to end this shortsightedness, then just making ends meet is not likely either. They don't seem to make the construct that it can happen to them, as well as it's has to someone else. The testimony of a couple of these lost scholarship kids in team meeting, might be of more value than all the NFL or past greats combined, in the life of a kid considering such a dead-end journey.

The ignorance of some of these kids is amazing.

[auburnphan 6,050]

All this news is so sad for me. I think the current state of the game also creates this invincible mentality, as stupid as it is. The players have more than enough money and the stipend will make no difference with the few who think they are above the law. Even with a full scholarship one can get FA/Grants, I believe.

Colleges need to raise the academic expectations of potential players. Do that & you cut out most of the scum.

Bad day for Les

Scum? Many kids, regardless of intellect or social standing, make mistakes. Most, do not necessarily have those mistakes made public.

Removed in 3...2...

[Randman5000 4,226]

Jeez. Talk about bad luck for Les..

Wow , Punched a girl in the face after going through her unconscious boyfriend pockets.. that dude is gone in three..two...one

[AUTUmike 79]

I'm guessing no more than a 2 game suspension for the thievin' three. Thoughts?

[AURandy56 148]

I wonder if Les will let the rest of the team vote on whether to allow the players back on the team?

Scum?..perhaps too strong in some cases....but, MO, the hammer would come down harder on those "many kids" you mention....than is experienced by big time college athletes who are surrounded by protectors to shield them from the results of their stupidity or thuggery.

And of course, most of those "many kids" you refer to would never be on a college campus to begin with....and you can bet that the Registrar (or whoever) would never give one of those ordinary students a second chance under the same circumstance?

Just sayin' that most of these delinquent athletes are cut far more slack than a non-athlete....and I guess having their names in the paper is the price they pay for even being considered for a second or third chance.

on the drive to work this morning they were talking about this on sirus xm. IMO Jennings and co could have made better decisions but I kinda support what they did. the guys on the radio this morning reported that Jennings had a couple pairs of shoes, PS4, and a MacBook air stolen from him. he found the guy that stole it from him. police didn't take immediate action and he wanted his stuff back. he went to the guys apartment demanded the stuff back. the roommate of the thief didn't want to let them in. so they barged in and got all of his stuff back. yes it technically breaking and entering but dang. the guy is just getting his stuff back. if left in the hands of the police, this would've taken weeks. his stuff would've been long gone. im no LSU homer but I think the kid deserves a break after hearing his side of the story.

Understand the defense. If he can identify the items taken as Jennings( which would depend upon markings, id numbers etc) that would not be a defense for unauthorized entry. The items in the guys room could have been from buying and receiving stolen goods. Taking the law into your own hands has consequences. Either way it makes a good story for the judge to sort out.

[keesler 5,924]

Why couldn't Jennings just call the police, tell them he knew exactly where his stollen goods were and request them to escort him to the premises? Let the police take care of it rather than screw up your whole life by committing a crime of your own?

I don't know if I would call them scum, but making a mistake compared to committing a crime are two different things.

Also, when a non famous person commits a crime their name will at least appear in the news paper etc..

OJ just tried to get his stolen stuff back too in Nevada. Unfortunately one of his gang had a firearm.

Hell, at the rate LSU's going they may as well get a ballot sheet.

I believe he knew who did it when It happened. told the police but they did nothing all week. his stuff was stolen Saturday.

No offense intended but, I think you are wrong.

Criminal offenses vary. The nature of the offense matters. A sense of responsibility and remorse matter.

A listing under "arrests" in a local newspaper is hardly comparable to being posted all over the internet.

No offense taken, but you are wrong unless you have more sympathy for the criminal than the victim.

I prefer to sympathize with the victims of crimes at any level of the law. If you prefer to sympathize with the criminals the city of Baltimore would love to have you.

I think your logic is highly flawed. I do not understand how my sympathies have anything to do with the actions of, consequences for, and feelings of someone who commits a criminal act? If you never allow young offenders to overcome the stigma of being a criminal, can you really expect them to learn from their mistake. Perhaps we should consider all of the relevant circumstances before making such generalizations?

They learn from their criminal acts (which you insist on calling mistakes) from suffering the consciences of their criminal acts. Yes, there are some that never learn.

They would learn not to commit such crimes in the first place, from seeing others suffer consciences. But when the only conscience is

a slap on the wrist full of sympathy, they will never learn.
