Kansas City Chiefs have released Cornerback Damon Arnette after his arrest Friday in Las Vegas, but that is the least of his problems. Arnette was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon, carrying a concealed weapon, and possessing a controlled substance after a dispute allegedly occurred at the Park MGM on Las Vegas Boulevard.
On Sunday, TMZ Sports reported that the cornerback has been charged with FIVE felonies — 2 counts of assault with a deadly weapon, one count of possession of a controlled substance, one count of possession of marijuana or cannabis and one count of carrying or concealing a gun without a permit.
In November, the Raiders cut Arnette after a video surfaced online that appeared to show the 25-year-old threatening someone with a gun.
He was only signed by the Kansas City Chiefs to a reserves/futures contract just nine days before he would be released. This may have been his last shot in the league.
Arnette was selected by the Raiders out of Ohio State in the first round of the 2020 draft. He played for them in 13 games with seven starts and three passes defended.
Chiefs play the Bengals Sunday in the AFC Championship game.
