New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte was arrested on Thursday on charges related to illegal online gaming while he played at LSU.
Boutte, 21, turned himself in, according to Louisiana State Police, on charges of Computer Fraud, a felony, and a misdemeanor count of Gaming Prohibited for Persons Under 21. He will reportedly be booked and immediately released after posting $6,000 bond.
Some of the alleged illegal gaming took place while he was an LSU player, investigators allege. However, a source familiar with the case said Boutte never bet “against himself” and his actions in LSU games.
