LSU running back Jeremy Hill was arrested after an incident at a bar in Baton Rouge on Friday night, according to Tigers beat writer Glenn Guilbeau and others. The details aren't sounding good at all, to say the least:

According to a BRPD probable cause document, #LSU RB Jeremy Hill struck the male victim so many times the man lost consciousness.

Hill was one of LSU's offensive stars in the team's spring game held last Saturday. He rushed for 755 yards and 12 touchdowns as a freshman in 2012 after pleading guilty that year to a charge of unlawful carnal knowledge of a juvenile.

Hill's arrest is the latest in a string of legal issues facing current and former LSU players. Ex-Tigers defensive back Tharold Simon, who was drafted by the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday, was arrested on Thursday night on multiple charges — despite having "20 witnesses" say he did nothing wrong.

Tyrann Mathieu and three other LSU players, including former quarterback Jordan Jefferson, were arrested in October on drug-related charges. Mathieu, who missed the entire 2012 season as a result of his legal issues, was drafted by the Arizona Cardinals on Friday.
