LSU Running Back Trey Holly Proclaims Innocence Following Arrest on Attempted Murder Charges
In a shocking turn of events, LSU running back Trey Holly has spoken out for the first time since being arrested on charges of attempted second-degree murder. Holly, one of three people arrested in connection with a shooting incident in Farmerville, Louisiana, is staunchly maintaining his innocence.
Holly took to Facebook to address the allegations, stating, “I have been falsely identified, accused, and arrested. I am 100% innocent and the people that know me know this is not my character at all.” He further explained that he was not present during the incident that took place in his home and turned himself in to fully cooperate with the ongoing investigation.
While Holly refrained from providing specific details due to the ongoing nature of the case, he expressed his gratitude to his fans for their support and assured them that he would come back stronger than ever. “To the REAL ONES thank you guys for standing beside me through this tough time, I got this and my story will be told one day and it will be LEGENDARY,” he wrote.
In addition to the charge of attempted murder, Holly is also facing counts of aggravated criminal damage to property. The gravity of the charges has led to his suspension from LSU’s football program indefinitely. The young running back had shown promise on the field, recording 110 yards on 11 carries last season, with a standout performance against Army.
Holly turned himself in to the Union Parish Detention Center and is currently being held on a bond of $512,000. As he awaits the outcome of his case, Holly remains confident in his innocence and hopes to prove it in due course.
The arrest of a prominent college athlete on such serious charges has sent shockwaves through the LSU community and the wider college football world. The incident serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by young athletes who are thrust into the limelight and the importance of maintaining one’s character amidst the pressures of success.
As the case unfolds, it remains to be seen what evidence will be presented and how Holly’s claims of innocence will hold up. The LSU running back’s future hangs in the balance, but for now, he continues to fight for his reputation and look forward to the day when his story will be told.
