Boutte is accused of creating an online betting account under a fake name and then placing more than 8,900 illegal bets.
Six were wagers on LSU football, according to a state police news release.
Seventeen wagers were made on NCAA football, which included wagers on LSU football between Aug. 28, 2022, and Oct. 9, 2023, the warrant states.
Six of the wagers were on LSU football, including one game — LSU versus Florida State — where he bet on himself, investigators allege.
