New England Patriots rookie wide receiver Kayshon Boutte has reportedly been arrested on illegal online gaming charges. WAFB 9 reported the news on Thursday.
Per the report, some of the alleged illegal gaming occurred when Boutte was still in college at LSU. He is accused of creating a fake account representing himself as 21 years old or older, despite being underaged for gambling.
This enabled him to place “thousands of different bets including some on LSU football” with “several hundred thousand dollars” in wagers and payouts.
Boutte has since turned himself in on Computer Fraud charges, one misdemeanor and a felony.
