(Robert Deutsch-USA TODAY Sports)              <\/p>\n<p>    The state of Louisiana has dropped the underage gambling and    computer fraud charges against New England Patriots wide    receiver Kayshon Boutte, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Tuesday.  <\/p>\n<p>    Boutte, a sixth-round pick in 2023, was arrested in January on    suspicion of making numerous online sports bets while underage    at LSU. Investigators for the Louisiana State Police Gaming    Enforcement Division found that Boutte made 8,927 individual    sports bets starting on April 6, 2022, and ending on May 7,    2023  a week after he was drafted by the Patriots.  <\/p>\n<p>    Boutte was 20 at the time, not old enough to legally gamble in    Louisiana, and investigators believe he used an alias to fool    the age requirement. Investigators also said that at least 17    bets were made on NCAA football games, with at least six of    those involving LSU.  <\/p>\n<p>    Shortly after Boutte's arrest, the NFL announced it would be launching its own    investigation into Boutte's activities, since a small    portion of it occurred after he was drafted (and therefore a    Patriots employee). However, the NFL's rules on sports gambling    allows players to bet on any sport besides the NFL. Since there    were no NFL games happening when Boutte was drafted, he didn't    bet on those while he was an employee.  <\/p>\n<p>    While the dropped charges are likely a good sign for Boutte, as    he's no longer facing any charges in the state of Louisiana,    the NFL may find more to be concerned with. A league source    told Yahoo Sports' Charles Robinson in January that the NFL    wasn't limiting its investigation to only the wagers Boutte    placed in Louisiana, but that it would be investigating his conduct during his    entire rookie year with the Patriots.  <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>Continued here: <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/underage-gambling-fraud-charges-dropped-against-patriots-wr-kayshon-boutte-in-louisiana-145225816.html\" title=\"Underage gambling, fraud charges dropped against Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte in Louisiana - Yahoo Sports\">Underage gambling, fraud charges dropped against Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte in Louisiana - Yahoo Sports<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> All underage gambling and fraud charges against Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte have been dropped by the state of Louisiana.
