LSU running back Trey Holly has broken his silence following his arrest in connection with a shooting incident that took place in his hometown of Farmerville, Louisiana earlier this month.
Holly has been charged with one count of attempted second-degree murder, one count of aggravated criminal damage to property, and one count of illegal use of a weapon.
The former three-star recruit has maintained his innocence and, in a statement posted to social media, claims he will prove he did nothing wrong after turning himself in to authorities last week.
“As you guys know I was recently arrested on 3 felony charges. I have been falsely identified, accused, and arrested,” he wrote on Facebook. “I am 100% innocent and the people that know me know this is not my character at all. I was not involved in the incident at all. I was at home which is where the incident took place.
“I turned myself in because I was notified of an arrest warranted and I wanted to fully cooperate. Due to this being an ongoing investigation I cannot give many details. To my fans I’m sorry for the confusion but you guys know this is not me at all. I will come back better than ever and I look forward to proving my innocence. 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. #1TSPERSONAL.”
The Union Parish Sheriff’s office in Farmerville notes that a woman was shot in the back while a man sustained a gunshot wound to his leg. Two other people have been arrested as a result of said matter.

The Sheriff’s Office is still trying to piece things together, though charges have already been handed out.
The Tigers have suspended Holly, who will continue to cooperate with the investigation.
