Reports: Perrilloux Under Federal Investigation

Several media outlets confirming backup freshman QB Ryan Perrilloux is the subject of a federal investigation.

I have no details regarding where or when, or if an arrest took place, and Lafayette's Daily Advertiser is currently "following leads" based on reports from fans and their sports reporter, Glenn Guilbeau.

I've been told through the grapevine that Perrilloux's investigation involves counterfeit money. Again I stress that at this point everything is heresay, and the Advertiser and I'm sure any other media outlets would love if someone with factual information shared it.

Here is an excerpt from an article posted by The Advocate (http://www.2theadvocate.com/news/5150407.html):

LSU quarterback Ryan Perrilloux is the subject of a federal criminal investigation out of New Orleans, said Baton Rouge attorney Nathan Fisher, who has been hired to represent Perrilloux.

Fisher said he could not comment about the nature of the investigation, but could confirm that the investigation is taking place.

Perrilloux has not been booked on any charges, Fisher said. The Baton Rouge attorney also said he is unaware of any pending hearings or other court action scheduled to take place in connection with the investigation.

"I don't think it would be appropriate at this time to comment any further," Fisher said late this afternoon.

Miles denies Perrilloux rumors

Internet rumors have been rampant in recent days concerning a possible situation with LSU quarterback Ryan Perrilloux. Apparently, they are still rumors.

Louisiana Gannett reporter Glenn Guilbeau contacted the New Orleans and Baton Rouge police departments and both departments said Perrilloux, a redshirt freshman who turned 20 on New Year’s Day, had not been arrested.

Wednesday, at the news conference where JaMarcus Russell announced he was turning pro, LSU head coach Les Miles addressed the issue.

“I have no information there whatsoever. I know nothing about what you’re talking about," Miles said. "I do not know if he’s in any trouble.”

WWL in New Orleans reports Perrilloux is under federal criminal investigation.

LSU Sports blog at Tigersmack.com reports similarly, with visual evidence of three traffic warrants for Perrilloux: http://tigersmack.com/2007/ryan-perrilloux-warrants#more-55
