Overview
- Terrion Arnold faces multiple felony counts, including three counts each of kidnapping and armed robbery, charges that prosecutors say could carry life sentences if he is convicted.
- The court set $1 million bond and ordered Arnold confined to his Tallahassee residence with limited travel for football and court business, passport surrender, and no contact with co-defendants when he posted bond and was released on Tuesday.
- Hours after the June court appearance the Detroit Lions placed Arnold on waivers, a move that lets other teams claim his rookie contract and creates reported dead-cap hits for the Lions if the guarantees are not recouped.
- Florida prosecutors filed a motion saying the Lions’ waiver is a changed circumstance and asking the judge to require a GPS ankle monitor; a hearing to consider modifying release conditions is scheduled for early July with reports citing July 6 and July 10 dates.
- Arnold’s lawyers say three NFL teams have contacted him and will present employment prospects at the hearing, a claim prosecutors are contesting because team monitoring was a factor in the original bond decision.
