Two days after an arrest for his role in a fight at an off-campus bar, LSU running back Jeremy Hill was suspended indefinitely by coach Les Miles on Monday.

While LSU took official action, new details in a Baton Rouge police report disclosed additional details of the fight at Reggie’s Bar in Tigerland, including Hill and a second suspect reportedly exchanging a high-five after attacking a male victim from behind and the running back denying he’d taken part in the fight even after being shown video by police.

It remains unclear if Hill, who is charged with misdemeanor simple battery, will miss any games this fall, or whether he will return for preseason workouts starting in August.

Miles, who returned from an appearance on the NFL Network during its draft coverage in New York, said in a statement he would not comment publicly until the matter involving Hill had been adjudicated.

Last season, Hill gaining 755 yards and scoring 12 touchdowns on 145 carries. This spring, he was atop the LSU depth chart, and rushed 103 yards on 13 carries during the Tigers’ spring game April 27.

East Baton Rouge District Attorney Hillar Moore III said Monday it’s possible the charges against Hill could be upgraded, but added “simple battery is probably the appropriate charge based on what I’ve seen right now.”

New details from the police report include cell phone videos showing Hill walking up behind the male victim and punching him behind his left ear before the second suspect delivered a blow.

What a frickin' idiot. The kid already had baggage coming to LSU which we supported him throughout the process and still gave him a chance... then he goes out and does something idiotic like this.

He was suppose to make a Heisman run this season. Wow. I'd suspend him for at least half a season and if we were to kick him off the team, I'd be absolutely fine with that.

Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege.

All little common sense goes a long way.
