Former football player Wroten arrested

Former LSU football player Claude Wroten Jr. was arrested Thursday on one count of simple criminal damage to property.

Wroten, St. Louis Rams defensive lineman, was charged after officers were dispatched to West Campus Apartments around 9 p.m. regarding a disturbance.

LSUPD spokesman Maj. Lawrence Rabalais said officers found Wroten and his girlfriend having an argument regarding the end of their relationship.

Rabalais said Wroten requested items he bought for his girlfriend to be returned to him.

Rabalais said the girlfriend refused, and Wroten allegedly forcibly entered her room by kicking the door open and removing the items.

Wroten, who is no longer a University student, was issued a misdemeanor summons for damage to property.

Wroten was also arrested in 2006 for possession of marijuana with the intent to distribute.
