Alabama WR Traeshon Holden Was With LSU's Koy Moore During Police Encounter, Attorney Says

An LSU football player who encountered police Saturday night in Baton Rouge wasn’t alone.

Koy Moore, the Tigers’ freshman receiver, was accompanied by Alabama freshman wideout Traeshon Holden, an attorney for Moore told Sports Illustrated on Thursday.

Baton Rouge Police approached the two athletes inside a parking complex while investigating reports of a party on the complex’s roof. Moore announced details of the encounter in a tweet Sunday, claiming police approached him aggressively, pulling their weapons, accusing him of possessing a gun and even attempting to unzip his pants.
