Ed Orgeron, Scott Woodward Issue Statements on Koy Moore Incident

LSU freshman wide receiver Koy Moore posted a complaint on his Instagram Sunday saying he was “violated multiple times” by three Baton Rouge police officers during an incident Saturday night.

Moore claims the officers in question assumed he had a gun and drugs in his possession and drew their guns on him. Moore says the officers went as far as unzipping his pants looking for a weapon that was not there; Moore also said the officers also took away his phone as he tried to document the incident.

The Baton Rouge Police Department placed the three officers on leave and Murphy Paul, BRPD’s Chief of Police, talked to Moore about the encounter.
