Detroit Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold allegedly ordered two women to lure a man he believed had stolen from him to a home with the promise of “sexual relations,” court documents reveal.
Arnold, 23 – who is accused of being the mastermind of the February plot – was allegedly fed a live stream of the vicious beatdown of the victims who he accused of robbing his Florida Airbnb of more than $250,000 worth of property.
Arnold allegedly told two of his female co-conspirators to invite one of the victims over to one of their Tampa apartments for a romp, according to court documents obtained by The Post.
Once inside the apartment, two of Arnold’s co-defendants allegedly popped out of the closet and began beating two of the victims while the third waited in a car outside.
One of the girls allegedly live-streamed the beating, which was shared with Arnold and two others who were on their way to the apartment from Tallahassee, according to the documents.
After several minutes of waiting in the car outside, the third victim became concerned, so the victim decided to go into the apartment and was allegedly met with a pistol whip.
The three victims were beaten with fists and feet, threatened with death and berated for about an hour about the suspected stolen property, the documents claim.
At one point, one of the co-defendants allegedly placed a gun in one of the victims’ mouths.
The victims also had their wallets, phones, jackets, cash and jewelry stolen — totaling about $6,260 — according to the docs.
The three alleged victims — one of which was Arnold’s personal driver, according to the Detroit Free Press — were then forced into their car and fled the scene. They later reported the traumatic incident to the police.
The three victims had “visible injuries from being battered, held at gunpoint, and pistol-whipped before their personal property was stolen and they were ordered to leave” according to police.
Police arrested Arnold after he turned himself in this week in Tampa.
He’s facing four counts of kidnapping and four counts of armed robbery — and faces up to life in prison if convicted. Arnold has denied the allegations and maintains his innocence.
“There is no credible evidence linking Mr. Arnold to these allegations,” Denise White, CEO of EAG Sports Management, which represents Arnold, said in a statement.
Arnold “looks forward to his day in court and is confident that the judicial process will lead to his ultimate vindication,” White said.
The defensive back made a brief appearance from Falkenburg Road Jail in Tampa, Florida Thursday afternoon, wearing a green vest and appearing stone-faced.
Arnold is set to return to court Monday where his lawyers and prosecutors will make arguments about whether he should stay locked up, after prosecutors said they wanted him to remain behind bars until he’s tried.
Arnold completed his second season in the NFL in 2025, and he’s started 22 games and appeared in 24 since being selected No. 24 overall by the Lions.
The Lions released a statement that said they are aware of the situation, but will not comment further “out of respect for the ongoing legal process.”
