New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte has been arrested in Louisiana on charges for illegal sports gaming.
Prior to turning 21, Boutte allegedly created a fraudulent online gaming account claiming he was of legal age. He used the fake account to allegedly place more than 8,900 wagers — at least six on LSU games while he still played for the team.
“Investigators assigned to the Louisiana State Police Gaming Enforcement Division were contacted by an online gambling company regarding sports wagers made by a prohibited person. Investigators learned that former Louisiana State University (LSU) football player, 21-year-old Kayshon Boutte of Baton Rouge, participated in sports gambling from April 6, 2022, until May 7, 2023, when he was 20 years old,” the Louisiana Police said in a statement.
