LSU guard MiLaysia Fulwiley faces multiple charges after being arrested Saturday night for allegedly striking an officer with a vehicle and leaving the scene, according to Baton Rouge, La., arrest records.
Fulwiley was booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison on a $20,000 bond. Her charges include aggravated battery, obedience to police officers, flight from an officer, aggravated assault and resisting an officer.
According to the arrest records, at approximately 10:19 p.m. local time Saturday, an officer stationed at the intersection of Burbank Drive and West Lee Drive in Baton Rouge saw a gray Dodge Charger weaving through traffic. Another officer yelled for the driver to stop.
Fulwiley, identified in the records as the driver, stopped and was instructed to back up before handing her driver’s license to the officers.
Instead, Fulwiley allegedly put the vehicle in reverse, backed up and then drove forward, striking an officer with the front right side of the vehicle before leaving the scene.
She allegedly continued northbound on West Lee Drive, then drove through a CVS parking lot as officers attempted to stop her. A responding officer eventually cut off the vehicle.
Fulwiley and her passenger were removed from the vehicle before Fulwiley was taken into custody, according to the arrest records.
Fulwiley, 21, is in her second season at LSU after spending two seasons at South Carolina. In four games this season, all starts, she is averaging 17.8 points, 4.3 assists, 4.3 steals, 3.5 rebounds and 2.8 blocks. In 116 career games, including eight starts, she is averaging 12.8 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 2.1 steals and 1.0 blocks.
