A judge has issued a decision on bond for Detroit Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold on Monday afternoon.
Arnold, a first round NFL Draft pick out of Alabama in 2024, has been granted bond by a judge on Monday. The judge granted a $1 million bond for Arnold, who has been accused of kidnapping and armed robbery. The former Crimson Tide star allegedly used his 18-year-old lover and her roommate to lure his targets to their apartment.
The NFL star has also been accused of setting out to beat his driver and the driver’s hairdresser pal after they allegedly stole from him.

Arnold, 23, allegedly had his 18-year-old girlfriend's roommate, Jasmine Randazzo, set up a victim under the guise of a booty call. Randazzo was roommates with Ariana Del Valle, 18.
“They are trying to set him up and he’s trying to pay us for it,” Del Valle texted Randazzo of Arnold’s alleged scheme, according to messages read in court.
The plot allegedly blew up after Arnold and his friends had $250,000 worth of property stolen from them at an Airbnb in Largo on Feb. 1.
Arnold suspected that his driver and driver's hairdresser were behind the robbery. He allegedly wanted to lure them to a hotel room for questioning, before switching plans for an apartment meetup.
The NFL player and three of his friends allegedly pistol whipped and beat the hairdresser and two of his friends at his girlfriend's apartment on the night of Feb. 3 and into the morning of the 4, the detective testified.
Arnold's lawyer is arguing that there is no real proof
Arnold has hired Harvey Steinberg to represent him.
The famed attorney is arguing that there is no real evidence that Arnold was the mastermind of the beating. He claims that another man was the "quarterback" of the incident.
However, the prosecutors are arguing that if another man was the quarterback, Arnold still had a big role.
“The only reason this plan or this act gets off the ground is because of Mr. Arnold,” prosecutor Kevin Riley argued.
The case is ongoing this week.
