GREENVILLE, S.C. (AP) - The brother of LSU guard Flau’jae Johnson was arrested and booked for assault and battery and disorderly conduct by the Greenville Police Department for his role after his sister was shoved to the court by South Carolina forward Kamilla Cardoso during a Southeastern Conference Tournament game.

Trayron Milton, 24, jumped over the scorer’s table to reach the court. Police say Milton made his way to the court Sunday by pushing down an SEC employee and stepping on her shoulders to get past.

Milton briefly made contact with Cardoso before he was led away by police.

Milton was released from jail Monday on bonds of $1,087.50 for each charge. Both charges are considered misdemeanors under South Carolina law. Each carries a potential penalty of 30 days in jail, a fine or both.

College basketball has come under fire, both the men’s and women’s games, for court-storming where fans rush the court to celebrate their team’s success — even before the opposing team’s players, coaches and personnel can exit to the locker room.

Coach Mulkey says LSU didn't have any ejections following the bench-clearing scuffle during Sunday's SEC championship game.

NCAA all-time leading scorer Caitlin Clark of Iowa was knocked down after colliding with a fan after the Hawkeyes fell at Ohio State in January. Duke forward Kyle Filipowski had to be helped off the court after getting caught in a swarm of Wake Forest fans celebrating the Demon Deacons 83-79 victory last month.
