The NFL’s Detroit Lions on Monday released cornerback Terrion Arnold, only days after his arrest over allegations that he orchestrated the abduction and beating of three men who prosecutors believe he wrongly suspected of having stolen luxury goods and $100,000 in cash from him.<\/p>\n

The team made the announcement on the X social media platform. Arnold had two years left on his four-year rookie contract, worth $14.3 million. <\/p>\n

The team did not give a reason, but the announcement came the same day that a Florida judge set Arnold’s bail at $1 million. Prosecutors say the three victims, including a man who worked as a driver for Arnold, were robbed while being held at gunpoint in a Tampa apartment in February.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors had wanted Arnold held without bond on the eight felony charges he faces. But Chief Circuit Court Judge Christopher Sabella granted bond to him. <\/p>\n

The judge did not require Arnold to wear an ankle monitor because it would have prevented him from taking the field for games and training. The judge also said Arnold already has a \u201cpaparazzi monitor,\u201d referring to the photographers who have been watching his movements.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf he shows up on a beach in Tahiti, he\u2019ll be on social media,\u201d Sabella said at the end of the bond hearing in Tampa. <\/p>\n

Sabella said that although the charges are serious \u2014 each could bring a life sentence if Arnold is convicted \u2014 prosecutors are \u201cnot there yet\u201d in having a strong case for Arnold\u2019s guilt.<\/p>\n

The judge did order Arnold to remain at his home in Tallahassee except for when he\u2019s playing, training and traveling with the Lions. He also said Arnold cannot have any contact with other people tied to the case and must surrender his passport within 48 hours. <\/p>\n

Arnold, 23, was a first-round pick in the 2024 draft after playing at the University of Alabama. He had 31 tackles and an interception last season as part of the Lions\u2019 defense. <\/p>\n

According to prosecutors, the victims were abducted three days after cash and luxury items, including Rolex watches and Louis Vuitton bags, were reported stolen from Arnold at an Airbnb rental in the Tampa area. Prosecutors allege that six of Arnold\u2019s associates actually carried out the crimes, holding, beating and pistol-whipping the victims, and that Arnold wasn\u2019t there at the time.<\/p>\n

None of Arnold\u2019s co-defendants had bond set for them. Two female co-defendants have pleaded guilty and are cooperating with authorities. Their statements tie Arnold, who was not at the apartment, to the crimes, according to prosecutors.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors argue that Arnold is as responsible for the crimes as his co-defendants because he told his associates that he thought he knew who had stolen from him and said he wanted to confront them, setting events in motion.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur office remains committed to seeking justice for the three victims in the case who were beaten, robbed, and held against their will,\u201d said Erin Maloney, a spokesperson for the state attorney\u2019s office.<\/p>\n

But Harvey Steinberg, an attorney for Arnold, argued in court Monday that prosecutors are \u201cnot even close\u201d to showing that Arnold that he knew or directed what his associates would do. <\/p>\n

Denise White, the CEO of EAG Sports Management, which represents Arnold, said before the Lions announced they were releasing Arnold that the judge\u2019s ruling \u201cconfirms that there is very little evidence to even suggest any criminal involvement by Mr. Arnold.\u201d<\/p>\n
