LSU quarterback Ryan Perrilloux was suspended indefinitely from the football team after a meeting with coach Les Miles earlier this week.
LSU sports information director Michael Bonnette said Miles met with his player after hearing that Perrilloux, 20, was issued a misdemeanor summons by police when he allegedly tried to use his brother’s driver’s license to get onto the Hollywood Casino gambling boat.
Bonnette said the Saturday incident was the catalyst for the suspension but not the only reason.
Perrilloux could rejoin the team at Miles’ discretion, Bonnette said, but at this point he will not be involved in the team’s official activities.
Police were called to the casino about 5 p.m. by security guards and cited Perrilloux, Baton Rouge Police Department spokesman Cpl. L’Jean McKneely said Tuesday.
He was cited on one count of misrepresentation to gain access, McKneely said.
Perrilloux was given a court date, and released. McKneely did not know the court date.
One of the top football recruits in the country in 2004, Perrilloux was listed second on the LSU depth chart behind Matt Flynn.
