Some unfortunate news came out of Baton Rouge over the weekend, as LSU running back Jeremy Hill was arrested early Saturday morning after being involved in an altercation outside a bar near the school's campus.

The school announced on Monday that Hill has been suspended indefinitely.

Hill, who is on probation stemming from a previous arrest in 2011, allegedly punched a man on the side of the head. Baton Rouge police responded to a 2:15 a.m. call regarding a man who said he was knocked out in a fight. A witness happened to record the encounter with his phone, and police say the recording showed a man who appears to be Hill punching the victim. A second suspect knocked the victim to the ground, but has not been identified.

As a freshman in 2012, Hill was LSU's leading rusher with 755 yards and 12 touchdowns. Hill's prior arrest came in early 2011 for an alleged sexual assault on a 14-year-old girl; he plead guilty to a misdemeanor and delayed his enrollment at LSU until last fall.
