Lions Cut Terrion Arnold After Judge Sets Bail In Criminal Case At $1 Million

Bail for NFL cornerback Terrion Arnold, who has been charged with four counts of kidnapping and four counts of armed robbery, was set Monday at $1 million. Just a few hours after the hearing ended, the Detroit Lions cut Arnold, a former first-round pick who was set to enter his third season in the league.

At the court hearing, prosecutors in Hillsborough County, Fla., had asked a judge to hold Arnold in jail without bail, but chief judge Christopher C. Sabella denied their request. Sabella also said Arnold could not contact his codefendants, had to surrender his passport, and Arnold must stay at home unless he is leaving for legal appointments or work.

Sabella rejected a request from prosecutors to have Arnold wear an ankle monitor, saying, per USA Today, “I suspect that Mr. Arnold has a paparazzi monitor. If he’s late for practice, ESPN will let us know.”
