Bond set at $1M for Lions CB Terrion Arnold

Bond was set at $1 million for Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold in a court hearing on Monday, with a Hillsborough County (Fla.) judge denying a motion by prosecutors to hold him without bail to face charges of armed robbery and kidnapping.

If he posts bail, Arnold is prohibited from contacting any of the six co-defendants and must surrender his passport. But a judge ruled Arnold doesn't have to wear a GPS tracking device to permit him to perform his professional duties for the Detroit Lions.

His travel will be limited to attending team functions and court and legal appointments.

Arnold was taken into custody last week and is accused of being the ringleader of a plot to avenge a theft in February by detaining and pistol-whipping the men he believed were responsible. But authorities said none of the victims Arnold and co-conspirators allegedly kidnapped and attacked were involved with stealing items from Arnold.

The 23-year-old who played at Alabama and was drafted by the Lions was the primary conspirator, according to prosecutors. All three victims are in their teens, according to court documents.

Arnold reported the theft of more than $250,000 in property from an Airbnb in Largo, Fla., near Tampa, three days before the alleged kidnapping and assault occurred.

The Lions begin training camp in four weeks.
