An alleged domestic incident involving a teammate led to the arrest of a Louisiana-Monroe defensive lineman.

Jaylen Veasley, 22, was taken into custody Monday afternoon by Monroe Police on a misdemeanor charge simple battery and felony charge of unauthorized entry of an inhabited dwelling.

Per the arrest report, Veasley entered the residence of his ex girlfriend, Montana Miller, after she advised him not to multiple times and encountered cornerback Floyd Connell. Veasley allegedly Connell and swung his fist at him, which prompted Connell to respond in self-defense.

Miller and Veasley have a child together.

Police say a wrestling match ensued in the bedroom between Veasley and Connell, which resulted in a broken television and miscellaneous items. Veasley left the residence, per the report, and was arrested at 3811 Desiard Street, the address of ULM's campus police station.

Veasley was booked into the Ouachita Correctional Center, and bond was set at $3,500 for the unauthorized entry charge and $500 for the battery charge.

ULM is aware of the incident and conducting its own investigation, per associate athletic director for communications and marketing John Lewandowski.

“We are gathering facts related to the situation, and we’ll let the legal process play out,” Lewandowski said.

Veasley is the second ULM football player arrested in over a month. Defensive end Kerry Starks was suspended indefinitely from the team following his February 10 arrest on domestic abuse and simple criminal damage to property charges.

As a junior, Veasley started 11 games at defensive tackle and finished 10th on the team with 34 tackles. The Rockwall, Texas native signed with the Warhawks in 2015 out of Rockwall High School.

Connell appeared in nine games as a true freshman last season, making seven tackles and breaking up three passes.

ULM begins spring practice on Tuesday afternoon.
