BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - A freshman LSU football running back turned himself in to university police early Friday afternoon after an arrest warrant was issued for him on a charge of accessory after the fact, his attorney said.

The player, JT Lindsey of Alexandria, is accused of allowing two men wanted for murder to stay at his dorm room on the LSU campus earlier this year.

His defense lawyer, Kris Perret, said even though Lindsey is now facing a criminal charge, Lindsey was unaware that those individuals were wanted for murder and was at football camp as this all played out.

Perret said there are no allegations that his client had any involvement in the underlying crimes.
