Detroit Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold has been arrested in connection with an alleged kidnapping and robbery that investigators say occurred in February, Tampa police announced Wednesday evening.
Police had already arrested six other individuals accused of participating in what authorities described as a “targeted armed robbery” on February 4.
Arnold turned himself in and was taken into custody at the Orient Road Jail in Hillsborough County on Wednesday evening. He is charged with four counts of kidnapping and four counts of armed robbery.

“We are aware of the matter and have been in contact with the club. We have no further comment at this time,” an NFL spokesperson told PK Press Club Digital.
The Lions did not immediately respond to a request for comment from PK Press Club Digital.
According to investigators, Arnold rented an Airbnb in Largo, Florida, where he periodically stayed with several co-defendants: Arianna Del Valle, 19; Jasmine Randazzo, 19 years old; Lyndell Hudson II, 26; Christion Williams, 24; Boakai Hilton Jr., 23; and Freddie Hughes, 27. Authorities said other people had also stayed at the property.

Investigators said three male victims, all in their late teens, suffered visible injuries after being beaten, held at gunpoint and pistol-whipped before being robbed and ordered to leave a residence in the 14000 block of North 46th Street in Tampa.
According to investigators, several personal items belonging to Arnold and others were stolen from Airbnb on February 1. Authorities said Arnold suspected two of the three victims were responsible, although Tampa police later determined they were not involved in the robbery.
On Feb. 3, Arnold, Hilton, Hughes and another person reported more than $250,000 in stolen property to the Largo Police Department.
Investigators say that later that day, Arnold and Hilton coordinated with Del Valle and Randazzo to contact one of the victims and lure him to an apartment.

Police said the three victims arrived at the apartment on Feb. 4 to meet the women, where Williams and Hudson allegedly hid in a bedroom closet. According to investigators, Williams and Hudson grabbed the victims, threatened them with a weapon and assaulted them.
Authorities said Del Valle relayed the incident to Arnold, Hilton and Hughes as they went to the apartment. Investigators also said they recovered a group conversation involving the defendants in which Arnold and Hilton allegedly gave instructions to Del Valle, Williams and Hudson during the assault.
According to investigators, Arnold, Hilton, Hughes and another individual arrived at the apartment around 1 a.m. Police say Arnold led the group inside and Hughes, Hudson and Williams stole the victims’ personal property during the assault.
Authorities said the victims were escorted from the apartment about 40 minutes later, forced into their vehicle and left the scene. They then reported the incident to Tampa police and identified the suspects.
Investigators said they believe Arnold was the primary organizer of the alleged scheme, based on evidence collected during the investigation.

Arnold, an Alabama product, was selected by Detroit with the 24th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
The 23-year-old recorded his first career interception last season in Week 9 against the Minnesota Vikings, although he was only able to play in eight games due to a shoulder injury that required season-ending surgery.
