It was all an accident.

Baton Rouge police have secured arrest warrants for LSU senior quarterback Jordan Jefferson, 21, and sophomore linebacker Joshua Johns, 21, police spokesman Sgt. Don Stone said in a news release.
The arrest warrants accuse each player of committing second-degree battery, which is a felony, Stone said in the release.
"We have contacted their attorney Nathan Fisher and LSU Coach Les Miles and requested that these two individuals turn themselves in," Stone said. "They are in the process of making those arrangements."
Jefferson and Johns were both in police custody as of 10:15 a.m. CT. Both were identified by name in a police report as two of at least ten people who assaulted Andrew Lowery, 21, who according to witnesses had intervened in an ongoing brawl to help an unidentified man who had been pulled from his pickup truck; Jefferson was personally implicated by a witness who told police "she knows for certain that she observed Jordan Jefferson kick[ing] Lowery in the face." Hence the 49 pairs of shoes police confiscated from Jefferson's apartment earlier this week.
Both Jefferson and Johns have been indefinitely suspended from the team, if you had to ask.
Lowery, despite emerging from the fracas looking the worse for wear, initially refused treatment, according to the police report. But four people were hospitalized in the brawl, one of whom reportedly suffered three fractured vertebrae and another of whom was knocked unconscious with contusions to the head, nose and hands.
