Alabama Students Arrested After Vandalizing LSU Tiger Logo on Field

Adam WellsNov 5, 2016

Two Alabama students were arrested Saturday after they broke into LSU's Tiger Stadium and scratched the eye of the Tiger logo at midfield.ย 

Per ESPN.com's Marty Smith, 18-year-old Alabama students Timothy Foley and Sean McGinity were charged with criminal trespassing for their actions. ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย 

Perย Smith, LSU assistant athletic director David Taylor said he got a phone call about the incident around 3 a.m.ย 

Smith also tweeted an image of what the Tiger logo looked like after the students defaced it:

Later, Smith reportedย Foley and McGinity were released from police custody after being issued summons.ย 

In 2013, Crimson Tide fanย Harvey Updyke Jr. was sentenced toย three years in prisonย for poisoning the trees at Toomer's Cornerย following a game between Alabama and Auburn during the 2010 season.

Alabama and LSU are scheduled to play a huge game Saturday night at Tiger Stadium. The Crimson Tide enter play undefeated and ranked No. 1 in the College Football Playoff standings. LSU has rebounded after a 2-2 start with three straight wins and is looking to keep pace in the SEC West. ย  ย ย
