Lacy was under investigation in Louisiana in connection with a crash in December leaving a 78-year-old man dead, officials said in January. He was accused of driving careless-fast and passing in a zone without passage-when the driver turned to avoid lacy and crashed into another vehicle.
The footballer, who educated in December, fled the stage with the crash without calling assistance, Louisiana State Police said. An arrest warrant was obtained for lacy for negligent murder, crime that hit-and-run and ruthless operation of a vehicle.
He turned to police on January 12, was jailed and released at $ 151,000 bail.

A magnificent jury was set to call to hear the evidence in the case on Monday, WAFB TV reported. A family member told the station that Lacy was dead.
“All the conversations, all tears, all, you know God had us! … We protected every day, we wake up and go to sleep. I promise that I tell you this every day,” Rontrell Sandolph, Lacy’s former high school teammate, wrote in a post on Instagram. “Asked for your career, your health every time I put my head on that pillow at night !! Even though I fell asleep without saying my prayers, I wake up in the middle of the night and still talk to God for you !!! 2 Why would you leave me bro?”
Rocky Arceneaux, Lacy’s agent, said in January that his client cooperated with the authorities in the investigation. Alliance Management Group did not immediately respond to a comment request.
