Lacy’s bail was set at $151,000 and he was being held in jail Lafourche Parish Correctional Complex.
LSU spokesman Michael Bonnette said last week that the school “has no comment at this time out of respect for the legal process.”
The star athlete was involved in a Dec. 17, 2024, crash that killed a 78-year-old retired U.S. Marine and injured two others, according to on WAFB-TV.

The 24-year-old was allegedly driving recklessly – speeding and going through a no-passing zone – when another driver swerving to avoid Lacy crashed into another vehicle.
Lacy fled the scene without his involvement or assistance, Louisiana State Police said. The football player declared for NFL draft two days later. He did not play in the Tigers’ Texas Bowl win against Baylor on Dec. 31.
An arrest warrant was issued for Lacy last week.
