Former Detroit Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold cleared waivers Monday and is now a free agent, Yankee Scores reports.
Detroit Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold was arrested Wednesday June 24th in Tampa, Florida and faces multiple felony charges
Arnold is expected to meet with NFL teams that have shown interest in signing him.
Arnold was released from custody last Tuesday after posting bond of $1 million set by Hillsborough County Judge Christopher Sabella in Tampa, Florida, per ESPN.
He also said that, as conditions of the ruling, Arnold is barred from having any contact with the six co-defendants or the witnesses in the case, and he was ordered to remain confined to his residence in Tallahassee, Florida, except when he would be playing, training and traveling with an NFL team, or making court-related appearances or legal appointments.
He was also required to hand over his passport within 48 hours.
Arnold, 23, surrendered to police June 24. He is accused of orchestrating the kidnapping and beating of three men he wrongly believed had stolen luxury goods and $100,000 in cash from him, prosecutors say.
The victims were kidnapped 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 said. Prosecutors say six of Arnold’s associates committed the crimes by holding, beating and pistol-whipping the victims. Arnold was not there at the time.
Arnold was drafted by the Lions in the first round of the 2024 draft out of Alabama. He was going to start outside opposite D.J. Reed before he was cut from the team. His rookie contract had two years and $4.8 million left on it.
