good news for Lions is that he's still on a rookie contract

Would it matter? Pretty sure this would fall under conduct detrimental to the team/league which would void any contract, guarantees, and can give the team an avenue to recall any bonus money already paid. Not sure how successful they will be in collecting any paid bonus money, but I can see them trying in situations like this.

I believe so. Ruggs seemed a bit rougher around the edges, though.



Rugg's dad works for the state of Alabama. Good man. Ruggs wasn't raised in a rough household.

so Arnold was on Facetime directing a kidnapping and robbery of his former personal driver?

i assume he thinks his former friend robbed him or something?

LINK

Arnold briefly appeared in court Thursday by video as a judge announced charges of kidnapping, armed robbery and conspiracy against the cornerback. The charges could carry a sentence of up to life in prison.

Arnold turned himself in and was taken into custody on Wednesday night. Authorities accuse him of leading a plot to detain and pistol-whip three people he believed had stolen from him. It turned out, however, that the victims had nothing to do with the theft in February, investigators said.

Lions' Arnold facing kidnapping, robbery charges
Eric Woodyard

Three men in their late teens were held at gunpoint, battered, pistol-whipped and robbed in a Tampa apartment on Feb. 4, police said, three days after personal property worth more than $250,000 was reported stolen from Arnold and others at an Airbnb rental in Largo, about 20 miles west of the city.

Arnold, 23, was the "primary conspirator" in the attack, police said in a statement.

Arnold denies involvement, according to Denise White, the CEO of EAG Sports Management agency that represents the football player.

"There is no credible evidence linking Mr. Arnold to these allegations," White said. "Instead, the government appears to be relying on testimony from multiple convicted felons who have admitted their own involvement and may have substantial incentives to shift blame in an effort to lessen their sentences."

At least seven people face charges, including two who pleaded guilty Wednesday and are cooperating, the state attorney's office said. One was immediately sentenced to four years in prison for kidnapping, conspiracy and robbery with a gun, records show.

The men told police that Arnold's friends lured them to an apartment, held them at gunpoint and hit them, all the while streaming the attack to Arnold. Police said Arnold was giving orders in a group chat and later arrived at the apartment.

Arnold was a first-round pick in the 2024 draft after playing at Alabama. He had 31 tackles and an interception last season for the Lions.

The Lions, in a statement, said they were aware of the situation but declined to comment "out of respect for the ongoing legal process."

Arnold was approached by reporters about the off-field incident during the Lions' veteran minicamp June 17 and declined to comment, saying he just wanted to "focus on football" while coming off a season-ending shoulder surgery.

I know it's self-inflicted, but I get sad when guys who have it all throw it away. Arnold seemed like a good dude, Jamo is the one we all think is a ticking time bomb.

So, let me get this straight.

Arnold's driver and associates stole a $250k from an AirBnB (allegedly) and left Arnold on the hook.

Arnold gets his childhood friend to rough up the driver and make get the stuff back.

Friend flips on Arnold.

Now Arnold is facing prison time.

That about right?

Or did he???… I ain’t convinced that those idiots just didn’t do this on their own accord… sounds silly to the working public I know… but some criminals wait on other criminals to pull heists than go rob them knowing more than likely the police won’t get involved… not just blue collar crimes either it happens in corporate America too… I think this will be his defense strategy
