According to the Times Picayune, Tulane running back and kick returner Ray Boudreaux was arrested this morning in his Metairie home for an alleged stabbing on Bourbon Street last Sunday that left five people wounded. This is the same stabbing that was caught on a surveillance camera and reported over the week. We'll try to get more info as the story develops.
Update:
WDSU reports that Boudreaux said he was "very, very sorry for what happened" and for "putting a blemish on the school." Apparently, the fight that led to the stabbings involved two groups of people, and Boudreaux claims his group was outnumbered (and as a result he used the knife). He's been charged with five counts of attempted murder.
Official Statement from Tulane University:
Ray Boudreaux, a Tulane University senior from Abbeville, La., and a member of the football team, has been suspended from Tulane. The suspension, effective immediately, means that Boudreaux can no longer attend classes at the university or participate in any activities, including intercollegiate athletics. The suspension was implemented after Boudreaux was arrested and charged in connection with an off-campus stabbing on Bourbon Street.
We'll post the official statement released by the university as soon as it is sent to us.
His roster profile has been taken down on the official website, and it looks like football will be the least of his concerns at this point.
