Terrion Arnold, two months after he was released by the Detroit Lions, will sign a one-year deal with the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks, as confirmed by CBS Sports senior reporter Matt Zenitz. Arnold had recently worked out for the Seahawks, Texans, Saints, and Giants. Arnold was released by the Lions after he was arrested on felony charges in connection with a robbery and kidnapping in February.
He reportedly has an arraignment hearing set Thursday in Tampa, Florida. Arnold is subject to a possible suspension from NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. Terrion Arnold DET • CB • #6 View Profile Arnold's legal situation Back in February, Arnold and some of his friends were robbed during a stay in Largo, Florida.
Multiple items were allegedly stolen, including $100,000 in cash and an $80,000 necklace. Police were called, and the group reported more than $250,000 in property losses. This group then allegedly decided to take matters into their own hands and gathered three men they believed were responsible for robbing them.
The three men, who were actually apparently innocent of robbing Arnold and his friends, were allegedly jumped, held at gunpoint and had their personal property taken. Arnold was not present for the assault, but police say he watched what happened via a live stream. Investigators now claim that Arnold was the primary conspirator.
A total of six suspects were arrested before Arnold: Five in February and one in March. Arnold has denied being involved in the robbery. He faces the possibility of life in prison if convicted.
Arnold scored a major legal victory last month when Chief Judge Christopher C. Sabella denied the state's request to keep the former first-round pick in custody until trial. He is allowed to travel for work, which apparently includes visits with teams, but otherwise must remain at home in Florida.
