Chiefs release CB Damon Arnette after arrest for assault with deadly weapon
Former Raiders cornerback Damon Arnette was arrested Friday night after allegedly threatening a valet with a gun at a Las Vegas hotel.
Clark County, Nevada records show that Arnette was arrested and charged with two counts of assault with a deadly weapon, carrying a concealed weapon without a permit, possession of a class one or two level controlled substance and possession of marijuana or cannabis.
He is being held in custody and ordered to appear in court Sunday morning.
According to the Las Vegas Police, there was a report of an individual with a weapon at the Park MGM Hotel late Friday afternoon. Another person, 20-year-old Markell Surrell, was arrested on charges of concealing a weapon without a permit in the same incident.
Arnette, 25, was selected in the first round of the 2020 draft by Las Vegas. He was released in November after making death threats to someone via Instagram message while brandishing multiple guns.
Arnette also faces multiple lawsuits, including one that said he left the scene of a car accident in October 2020 after colliding with another vehicle.
Just last week, Arnette signed a reserve/futures contract with Kansas City Chiefs, who released him upon news of his latest arrest.
