LSU Women’s Basketball Player Deletes Social Media Denial Of Hitting Cop, Fleeing Scene

LSU women’s basketball player MiLaysia Fulwiley reportedly hit a police officer with her vehicle while attempting to flee a traffic stop over the weekend. She denies the allegations.

The guard was arrested on Saturday night in Baton Rouge. Charges included aggravated battery, flight from an officer, aggravated assault and resisting an officer.

The incident reportedly happened as the LSU football team wrapped up a game v. Texas. Fulwiley is said to have been weaving in and out of traffic. She allegedly struck a cop car while trying to evade officers. She is said to have cut through a store parking lot before being blocked by responding police.

LSU has made a comment on the arrest, noting that it is aware of the situation. Fulwiley’s availability on the basketball court is now uncertain.

Who is MiLaysia Fulwiley?

The senior is one of the Tigers’ top scorers in 2026, averaging 17.8 points per game. She also leads the team in steals and blocks.

Fulwiley is a former five-star recruit that initially signed with South Carolina. She spent two seasons in Columbia, winning a national championship in 2024.

With the Gamecocks, she played around 18 minutes a night in a reserve role. Her playing time saw an immediate boost after transferring to LSU. She is now a key member of the starting five.

There were rumors that her mom was shopping her around to the highest bidder ahead of her junior year. Fulwiley denied the bag chasing accusations. She just saw LSU as a better fit for her skillset. She might not be wrong.

Since arriving in Baton Rouge, she’s made an impact. The veteran is on pace to post her best season to date, but an unexpected hiccup could alter her status with the team.

Reports of the incident with police were made public on Sunday afternoon. MiLaysia Fulwiley responded almost immediately on social media.

She denied the accusations presented in the circulating reports. Less than an hour after that post went public though, it was scrubbed from the internet.

Fulwiley deleted her denial of wrongdoing, which urged followers not to believe the details being reported. She takes issue with what’s been written online.

Fulwiley attempted to provide some clarity to the situation. She’ll likely have to explain the situation to head coach Kim Mulkey, too, as the Tigers get ready to continue their non-conference slate.

LSU plays on Monday v. Troy. Fulwiley’s availability is currently unknown.
