Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Chris Lammons was arrested and charged with a felony and a misdemeanor in Las Vegas on Thursday, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. The charges were in connection to the charges against New Orleans Saints star Alvin Kamara.

Lammons is facing a felony count of battery resulting in serious bodily harm and a gross misdemeanor count of conspiracy to commit battery. He was released on a $5,000 bond, according to the report.

Lammons was one of the suspects wanted in connection with the battery case against Kamara. The two other suspects were taken in on Monday, according to the report. Lammons has a court date on March 16.

Report: Additional details emerge in Alvin Kamara felony battery arrest

New details have emerged in the situation involving New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara, who was arrested on Sunday shortly after the NFL’s Pro Bowl at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

According to Michael Babcock of TMZ Sports, the Las Vegas Police Department informed the NFL hours before the Pro Bowl that Kamara was a suspect in a felony battery. Despite the allegations, the LVPD and NFL agreed to allow Kamara to play in the game – and he was later arrested after it.

Babcock reports that after the Pro Bowl, Kamara was mirandized, told his side of the story to police officers and was ultimately taken into custody.

According to Spotrac, Kamara has four years and $59 million remaining on his contract with the Saints. If the running back is found guilty and/or receives a suspension from the NFL, the Saints would no longer be obligated to pay out the contract.

According to a press release, around 5:50 p.m. local time on Sunday, a police officer responded to the hospital where a victim reported that they were “battered at a nightclub.” Alvin Kamara then was identified as the suspect, and arrested before being transported to Clark County Detention Center.

The report also describes “substantial bodily harm” which resulted from the battery. The investigation is ongoing as police gather more information on the incident.
