The Detroit News' Nolan Bianchi reported Thursday that Detroit Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold's name surfaced in a Florida court order involving armed robbery and kidnapping.
Some new details surfaced Thursday in a court order involving the orchestration of an armed robbery and kidnapping that occurred in Tampa, Florida this month. The details directly involve Detroit Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold.
The Detroit News’ Nolan Bianchi reported Arnold’s name surfaced in the Florida court order. The cornerback’s name was “in a seven-page order from Hillsborough County Circuit Judge J. Logan Murphy that granted the state’s motion for a pretrial detention against Boakai Hilton.”
Hilton allegedly planned the kidnapping and robberies during a car ride where Arnold was present. Hilton allegedly made those plans in retaliation for a pair of thefts that occurred at Arnold’s rental home in Largo, Florida.
“The Feb. 24 order stated that the armed robbery and kidnapping were a direct result of ‘Arnold and his friends’ deciding to ‘take matters into their own hands’ after Arnold’s rental home was robbed twice. ‘While traveling in a car with Arnold back from Tallahassee, Hilton orchestrates the ambush,’ according to the order,” wrote Bianchi.
“Arnold, 22, has not been charged or arrested by authorities, according to online court records. Prior to the incident on Feb. 4, Arnold was a victim of two robberies, in which thieves stole high-end bags, guns, jewelry, a cellphone, and $100,000 in cash, according to a police report filed by Arnold with the Largo Police Department on Feb. 3.”
Arnold didn’t immediately respond to The Detroit News’ request for comment.
