An offensive analyst for the LSU football team was charged with a felony in Oregon.
Antonio Parks, who came to LSU as an offensive analyst in February, was charged Monday with one count of felony strangulation from an incident that occurred in Oregon.
Parks was accused of strangling a woman after she posted a video titled “A Day in the Life of a Stay at Home Girlfriend,” according to a probable cause affidavit filed in the Lane County Circuit Court. The social media video has since been deleted.
Parks allegedly ordered the woman to delete the video, but when she refused, he pushed her onto the bed in their apartment and strangled her for 30-60 seconds, the affidavit said.
The woman said the alleged attack happened in mid-December, and that she photographed her injuries, according to a police report written by a Eugene police officer.
The affidavit was reviewed and found the photos and evidence of bruising and a scratch on the woman’s neck. The officer arrested Parks on Sunday, who tried to downplay the incident as a late-night argument where the woman attacked him.
“I maintain my innocence, and I know the truth,” Parks told The Oregonian. “I’m a low-level coach. It’s a waste of time to just go ahead and ruin someone’s career.”
Parks spent two years coaching the Ducks as an offensive analyst but left after the 2024 season for the same job at LSU.
Parks was released from jail on a conditional release Wednesday.
