Warrant issued for father accused of choking, striking daughter at LSU freshmen orientation

A father is accused of choking his daughter outside LSU’s Student Union during her freshman orientation on Monday and a warrant has been issued for his arrest, LSU police said.

During a lunch break inside the Student Union, Willis Morris Jenkins III, 37, and his daughter had an argument about financial aid and social media, Sgt. Chet Chambless said in a police report, after which Jenkins stormed out of the building.

The victim told police she walked outside and found her father talking on the phone and when he got off, she said he got into his car and pulled up in front of the Student Union, approached his daughter, yelling, and proceeded to grab her throat, yank her back and forth and push his fingers into her temples, Chambless said.

A witness notified campus police.
