Laine Hardy took to his Facebook page on April 28 to inform fans that he was under investigation by the Louisiana State University Police Department.

He noted that the LSUPD issued “a warrant due to allegations made against me.” While he didn't go into detail about what he was accused of, he did say that he was “fully cooperative” with cops.

He added, “I understand that my career has thrust me into the public spotlight, and I embrace that wholeheartedly as my entire world belongs to my music and my fans."

But "due to the sensitive nature of this allegation," Laine asked fans for privacy at this time. "I have the utmost respect for the law and will assist in their investigation as needed moving forward," he concluded.

Per The Advocate, Laine was arrested on the morning of April 29 on an eavesdropping count. He had admitted to his ex-girlfriend that he had left an audio-recording device in her dorm room at Louisiana State University, according to police.

She and Laine dated from November 2021 to February 2022.

Laine's ex-girlfriend believed that he had bugged her room after "he appeared to know details about what was going on [in] her life even though she hadn't told him about them," writes the outlet. He admitted to her accusations over Snapchat but reassured her that he had discarded the recordings. She took a screenshot of that conversation on Snapchat as evidence of his admission of guilt.

The recorder was located and turned over to LSUPD, who discovered several recordings. Most recordings had occurred during a five-hour block between Feb. 10 and Feb. 20.
