BATON ROUGE — A man accused of raping a woman in an LSU residence hall's study room had his bond set at $150,000, jail records show. 

Ronald White, 21, allegedly raped a woman in Spruce Hall on Friday night. 

According to the alleged victim, she was visiting a friend in Spruce Hall when a male acquaintance arrived with White. White, within five minutes, asked the alleged victim to go to a study room.

Once inside the study room, White produced a gun and proceeded to rape the woman at gunpoint.

White, when approached by LSUPD officers, refused to comply and ran from Spruce Hall, continuing along West Chimes Street before hiding under a car near the intersection of West Chimes and Iowa streets.

White was eventually found to have seven grams of marijuana and was subsequently arrested.

White was booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison on first-degree rape, resisting arrest, possession of marijuana and carrying a firearm on school property charges.

His bond was set at $100,000 for the rape charge, $5,000 for resisting arrest and $45,000 for the gun charges.
