The bother of an LSU player was charged with assault after jumping onto the court from the stands during an altercation between both teams in the SEC women’s championship game.
Trayvon Milton was arrested after police say he jumped over the barrier wall and scorer’s table, pushed an employee and stepped on her shoulder to get in the middle of the altercation. Milton was charged with third-degree assault, battery and disorderly conduct.
Milton is the brother of LSU player Flau’jae Johnson, who initiated the altercation between both teams after pushing an opposing player. South Carolina’s center Kamilla Cardoso then came and pushed Johnson to the floor.

Both teams started fighting, with players from each team leaving their respective benches. Milton can be seen jumping over the table and making his way onto the court. Two other people jumped over the table, but police officers stopped them before they could reach the court.
The game was delayed for almost 20 minutes. The final decision was to eject every player from each team’s beach, leaving only 5 players available to play on both sides with 2:08 left in the game. South Carolina eventually came out victorious against LSU, 79-72.
