LSU RB Trey Holly releases statement after felony arrest

Trey Holly fully maintained his innocence, stating that he was “falsely identified, accused and arrested.”

LSU running back [autotag]Trey Holly[/autotag] is currently indefinitely suspended from the team following his arrest on three felony charges in his hometown of Farmerville, Louisiana, last week.

Among the felony charges is attempted second-degree murder as Holly is alleged to have been involved in a shooting in Union Parish earlier this month.

Holly finally broke his silence following the incident, releasing a statement on social media in which he maintained his innocence and insisted that he had been “falsely identified, accused and arrested.”

“I am 100% innocent and the people that know me know this is not my character at all,” he said in the statement. “I was not involved in the incident at all. I was home which is where the incident took place. I turned myself in because I was notified of an arrest warrant and wanted to fully cooperate.”

A record-setting high school running back in the state of Louisiana, Holly appeared in three games as a true freshman this fall.
