According to CBS Sports' Gregg Doyal, LSU coach Les Miles is waiting for an August 16th probation hearing before he makes a decision on sophomore running back Jeremy Hill. In January 2012, Hill pleaded guilty to "carnal knowledge" of a minor, for an incident in which he and another 18-year-old forced a 14-year-old girl to perform oral sex on them in their high school locker room. He received probation, and Les Miles offered him a scholarship to LSU.
After a freshman season with 755 yards and 12 touchdowns, Hill was arrested this past April for "simple battery" of Connor Baldridge.
A video released by the local DA shows Hill sucker-punching Baldridge. Hill plead guilty, but was given a six-month suspended sentence and two years probation by District Judge Mike Erwin, a 1976 graduate of LSU. Erwin also enacted a curfew, but made exceptions for football activities.
The August 16th hearing Miles is waiting on is to determine if Hill violated his first probation with his second arrest. Presiding will be District Judge Bonnie Jackson, 1978 graduate of LSU's law school.
LSU has said Hill is currently suspended (during the off-season), and Miles will wait "until the legal process surrounding this matter is completed."
