Two Alabama students who sneaked into Tiger Stadium late Friday night/early Saturday morning and defaced the LSU logo were arrested for trespassing.
The students are both from Maryland and were charged with criminal trespassing Saturday, according to ESPN’s Marty Smith. They were issued a summons and released by the LSU Police Department.
