The brother of LSU guard Flau’jae Johnson was arrested and charged with assault and battery and disorderly conduct by the Greenville Police Department over his involvement in Sunday night’s ugly SEC Championship game.

Trayron Milton, 24, jumped over the scorer’s table to reach the court after his sister was pushed to the court by South Carolina forward Kamilla Cardoso.

Police say Milton got into court Sunday by pushing an SEC employee down and stepping on her shoulders to get by.

Milton briefly made contact with Cardoso before being taken away by police.

Police said two other people jumped from the stands but were stopped by authorities before they got to court.

Tempers flared in the final minutes of the fourth quarter of Sunday’s high-profile game when an intentional foul by Johnson on Milaysia Fulwiley led to an exchange of shoves between women on both teams.

Johnson also shoved Ashlyn Watkins when she appeared to mock the LSU player by celebrating the soon-to-be win in front of her opponent.

But the melee between both teams didn’t stop there as South Carolina’s Cardoso came out of nowhere to knock Johnson to the ground, and continued to both benches coming into it.

That’s when Johnson’s brother – popularly known as Tray Milz because of his stage name as a singer – entered the field from the stands. This prompted highly alarmed officers to restrain him before getting him off the floor. Milz boasts 68.8k followers on Instagram where he has shared a post about being the ‘brother of a national champion’ last year when LSU won the NCAA title and was once enrolled at Georgia Southern University, according to Weekly magazine for the music industry.

He also tweeted Sunday’s championship game: ‘LSU VS SC will always be a gamer, I’m in this arena throwing stuff.’

After the referees reviewed the incident on replay screens, which led to a 20-minute game delay, Johnson was called for a deliberate foul, while Cardoso was given a disqualifying foul. What’s more, the final 2:08 was played in which LSU had no bench with all of the team’s substitutes ejected for their involvement in the game.

“I just want to apologize to the basketball community,” South Carolina coach Dawn Staley said in a postgame ESPN interview, first. ‘When you play in championship games like this in our league, things heat up.

‘No bad intentions. Their emotions got so far ahead of them that sometimes these things happen. So I would like to apologize for us playing a part in that. That’s not who we are. That’s not what we’re about.

“But I’m happy for the players who were able to finish the game to get us another championship.”

The South Carolina Gamecocks entered Sunday’s game as the No. 1 ranked team in the nation and with an undefeated record (31-0). On the other hand, No. 4 LSU (28-4) is the reigning NCAA champions. The players on both teams had plenty of words to say about each other coming into the high-profile match.

South Carolina went on to capture their eighth SEC title in 10 seasons by defeating the Lady Tigers, 79-72, after the long delay.
