NEW ORLEANS (AP) - A 32-year-old Alabama man has been arrested in connection with a video appearing to show an unconscious LSU fan being abused by someone in an Alabama jacket after the BCS football championship.
New Orleans police say Brian Downing of Smiths Station, Ala., was booked late Thursday on allegations of sexual battery and obscenity for allegedly putting his genitals on the face of an LSU fan who appeared unconscious.
Police say sex crimes detectives met Downing at his attorney's office in New Orleans before arresting him.
He looked at the ground as officers escorted him into the jail.
Neither he nor the officers answered questions.
