BATON ROUGE — A member of the LSU women's basketball team was arrested on Saturday night after allegedly striking an officer with a vehicle before fleeing the scene, according to arrest records. 

Around 10:19 p.m., an officer assigned to conduct contra flow at the intersection of Burbank Drive and West Lee Drive allegedly observed a gray Dodge Charger weaving through traffic when another officer yelled for the vehicle to stop. 

After coming to a stop, the driver, identified as LSU basketball Player MiLaysia Fulwiley, was told to back the vehicle up before handing officers her license. 

According to arrest records, Fulwiley put the vehicle in reverse and, after backing up, allegedly proceeded to drive forward, striking an officer with the front right side of her vehicle as she pulled off, leaving the scene.

She allegedly drove northbound on West Lee Drive before cutting through a CVS parking lot at the intersection of Highland Road as the officers attempted to stop the vehicle. Fulwiley continued East on Highland Road when a responding officer stopped the vehicle by cutting it off. 

Fulwiley and her passenger were removed from the vehicle before she was ultimately taken into custody, according to records. 

She is currently booked in the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison on multiple charges, including aggravated battery, failing to obey police officers, flight from an officer, aggravated assault, and resisting an officer. 

LSU released the following statement regarding the arrest: “We are aware of the situation and have no further comment at this time as it’s an ongoing legal matter.”
