LSU wide receiver Kyren Lacy was arrested Sunday night after peacefully turning himself in to authorities, ESPN reported on Monday.

Lacy has been charged with negligent homicide and a felony hit-and-run stemming from a crash that reportedly took place on Dec. 17. A former Marine was killed in that accident with 2 others sustaining injuries.

According to ESPN, Lacy turned himself in to authorities on Sunday night and was jailed. The LSU receiver has been released on a bail of $151,000, according to police records obtained by ESPN.

It is alleged that Lacy recklessly passed multiple vehicles at a high rate of speed and crossed over the center line in a No-Passing Zone on LA Highway 20. He was driving a 2023 Dodge Charger during the incident.

Here is a statement on the incident from Louisiana State Police documents:

As Lacy was illegally passing the other vehicles, the driver of a northbound lane pickup truck abruptly braked and swerved to the right to avoid a head-on collision with the approaching Dodge. Traveling behind the pickup truck was a Kia Cadenza whose driver swerved left to avoid the oncoming Dodge Charger. As the Kia Cadenza took evasive action to avoid impact with the Dodge, it crossed the centerline and collided head-on with a southbound Kia Sorrento. Following the crash, Lacy drove around the crash scene and fled south on LA Hwy 20 without stopping to render aid, call emergency services, or report his involvement in the crash.

Lacy began his career at Louisiana in the Sun Belt before transferring to LSU for the 2022 season. He spent 3 seasons with the Tigers and declared for the NFL Draft in December.
