Previously, Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold denied involvement in the alleged robbery and kidnapping arising from an effort to recover property stolen from a house he rented in Florida. Now that Arnold has been arrested and will be charged with multiple felonies, a representative has issued a statement on Arnold’s behalf.
“Terrion Arnold categorically denies any involvement in the matters underlying the allegations made against him and maintains his innocence,” Denise White of EAG Sports Management said, via Colton Pouncy of The Athletic. “There is no credible evidence linking Mr. Arnold to these allegations. 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. . . . Mr. Arnold looks forward to his day in court and is confident that the judicial process will lead to his ultimate vindication.”
Arnold was arrested after two of the five other defendants in the case agreed to a plea deal on Wednesday.
The State Attorney’s Office in Hillsborough County, Florida, intends to request that Arnold remain jailed until the case goes to trial.
