The Detroit Lions released cornerback Terrion Arnold on June 29, 2026, hours after a Florida judge set his bond at $1 million in connection with a February kidnapping and armed robbery case in Tampa. Arnold, a 23-year-old former first-round draft pick, surrendered to Tampa police on June 24 after an arrest warrant was issued and now faces eight felony counts, including kidnapping, armed robbery, and conspiracy. Investigators allege he was the primary conspirator in an attack on three men over purported stolen property. Two co-defendants have pleaded guilty and identified Arnold as leader. Arnold has denied the allegations through his attorneys.
