Yet ANOTHER Raiders player released to due off-field indiscretion
It's not a good week to be a Raiders fan.
The Las Vegas Raiders are still coming to grips with the horrible tragedy earlier this week that saw Henry Ruggs III make the terrible decision to drive while intoxicated that ultimately resulted in the death of a young woman and her dog; they released him from the roster soon after the news was made public.
And now, they've parted ways with yet another 2020 1st round draft selection. This time, it's cornerback Damon Arnette. The team made the decision to release him after an Instagram video was leaked of Arnette brandishing multiple firearms and making threats against an unspecified person.
"I swear to God, I will kill you,” Arnette can be heard saying in the video.
Of course, this is on top of the handful of lawsuits that he's already facing. He's being sued by a woman who alleges that he injured her in a hit-and-run last year, and is also facing a lawsuit over an alleged incident at a casino:
Per Deadspin:
"The second lawsuit revolves around an interaction Arnette had with a valet worker at the Aria Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. The worker claims that after Arnette was told his car could not be recovered by the valet because Arnette lacked a valet receipt, the Raiders’ cornerback berated the worker, spat on him, and poked him in the chest. Arnette did have a valet receipt, but it was still in his hotel room. It was eventually recovered by Arnette’s girlfriend. The valet worker is seeking $500,000 for the altercation."
