A grand jury has indicted LSU quarterback Jordan Jefferson on simple battery charges, a misdemeanor and a lesser charge than the maximum charge he could have faced.
The grand jury did not indict Joshua Johns.
Jefferson and Johns, a reserve linebacker, were originally arrested and booked with second-degree battery in the Aug. 19 fight, after which four men sought treatment at hospitals.
Jefferson testified a week after the grand jury heard testimony from witnesses to the incident that occurred outside of a Baton Rouge bar in August.
Jefferson was accused of kicking one of the victims. He was suspended by LSU and hasn’t played this season after it was expected that he would be the team’s starting quarterback.
