Detroit Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold is facing multiple felony charges after he was arrested Wednesday in Tampa in connection with a robbery and kidnapping in early February.
Tampa police previously arrested six other individuals -- Arianna Del Valle, Jasmine Randazzo, Lyndell Hudson II, Christion Williams, Boakai Hilton Jr. and Freddie Hughes -- involved in the targeted armed robbery that took place shortly after midnight on Feb. 4, during which three male victims were pistol-whipped, held at gunpoint and robbed.
Police say that Arnold was the primary conspirator, accused of "coordinating and directing the codefendants" to lure the three men to an apartment where the assault occurred, according to a release from the state attorney's office.
