If there weren't enough news to pass along from the LSU beat, Monday took another unexpected turn.

LSU junior defensive end Davon Godchaux has been arrested for domestic abuse battery/child endangerment and false imprisonment, The Advocate's Ross Dellenger reported. Godchaux has since been suspended from the team indefinitely, team spokesman Michael Bonnette confirmed.

Godchaux has been released from jail following an arrest by the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff's Office, WAFB reported. Godchaux was released on a $3,000 bond.

Here's an excerpt from Dellenger's report.

The mother of Godchaux’s 10-month-old child is the victim in the case, but, because of “conflicting stories,” she was also arrested for domestic abuse battery/child endangerment, the police report notes.

The victim alleges that Godchaux and her were involved in a “tussle” at his apartment on Nicholson Drive over “infidelity” in their relationship. Godchaux expressed that the two should separate, the victim told police.

She then attempted to leave his apartment with the child before Godchaux grabbed her by the hair and then later grabbed her by the shoulder and “tossed (her) backwards near the couch,” the report says.

Police observed the victims’ lip to be swollen and red marks on her throat. Godchaux, who has braces, had cuts on the inside of his mouth, the report says.

In four games this season, Godchaux has started in every game and ranks tied for fourth on the team with 20 total tackles.
