Detroit Lions player Terrion Arnold sits in a Tampa courtroom for a pre-trial detention hearing.
TAMPA, Fla. - Detroit Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold appeared before a judge Monday after turning himself in for his alleged role in a targeted Tampa kidnapping and armed robbery.
The 23-year-old NFL player faces multiple felony counts stemming from a February attack.
Arnold granted bond
What we know:
A judge granted Arnold a $1 million bond Monday but ordered him to remain confined to his home except for work and legal appointments. The defense successfully argued against GPS monitoring, stating a tracker would be unsafe on the football field.
Criminal investigation
The backstory:
Investigators say the incident began after luxury items worth over $250,000 were stolen from a Largo Airbnb Arnold rented on Feb. 1. Believing he knew who was responsible, Arnold and another man allegedly coordinated a targeted ambush, according to police.
Teens attacked
On Feb. 4, investigators said three teenage victims were lured to an apartment in the 14000 block of North 46th Street. Two men ambushed the teens inside a closet, holding them at gunpoint and pistol-whipping them during a live-streamed assault, according to investigators.
Co-defendants face charges
By the numbers:
Six other suspects were previously arrested in February and March in connection with the targeted assault. Two of the co-defendants, Arianna Del Valle and Jasmine Randazzo, pleaded guilty last Wednesday.
