He acted like a typical negro gang member. That's all the law
requires. Lock him up forever.
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Former NFL cornerback Damon Arnette has pleaded not
guilty in Nevada to felony charges and his lawyer is challenging his
indictment alleging he displayed a handgun during an argument with Las
Vegas Strip casino valets in January 2022.
“He never brandished a gun. He never pointed a gun,” defense attorney
Ross Goodman said Thursday of Arnette.
The former player appeared in court Wednesday and remains free pending
trial in October on assault with a deadly weapon and carrying a
concealed firearm charges.
Prosecutor Jory Scarborough declined to comment.
Arnette, 26, a first-round draft pick of the Las Vegas Raiders in 2020,
played college football at Ohio State and lives in Boynton Beach,
Florida.
He is accused of holding a .45-caliber handgun and threatening two hotel
valets during an argument about a receipt for parking his Mercedes SUV
at the Park MGM hotel.
Las Vegas police who stopped and arrested Arnette and a passenger in the vehicle a short distance away reported finding a gun in the driver’s
side door. The passenger also had a handgun, police reported. Charges
against that man were dropped last year.
Arnette could face up to 10 years in Nevada state prison if he is
convicted of both charges.
Clark County District Court Judge Ron Israel scheduled a hearing June 7
on Goodman's written challenge late Tuesday of the indictment filed May
12.
Arnette played a total of 13 games for the Raiders before he was dropped
by the team in November 2021 after social media video appeared to show
him threatening someone’s life while brandishing multiple guns. He was
not charged with a crime at that time.
His arrest two months later on suspicion of weapons and drug offenses
after the incident at the Park MGM prompted the Kansas City Chiefs to
release him from a reserve contract that he had signed days earlier.
