LSU's Hebert suspended from football team after arrest

LSU center T-Bob Hebert has been suspended from the football team following his arrest Friday night, head coach Les Miles announced Monday.

The school did not specify why Hebert was arrested, but The Times-Picayune of New Orleans reported that he was arrested for driving while intoxicated.

"This is a very serious charge," Miles said. "We have a high level of expectations for the players in our program and this type of behavior is not acceptable. T-Bob made a poor decision and it will not be tolerated.

"I've met with T-Bob and he understands the magnitude of this charge. He made a mistake. Now he's going to have to suffer the consequences and do those things that insure that this type of incident doesn't happen again."

Hebert will be suspended from all football-related activities indefinitely and will not be reinstated until he fulfils certain obligations, as prescribed by Miles.

Hebert started 11 games for LSU in 2009, when he was a sophomore, though suffered a broken bone in his lower leg during a spring scrimmage. He is the son of former NFL quarterback Bobby Hebert.
