Detroit Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold, who was arrested Wednesday night in connection with an armed robbery and kidnapping that took place in Tampa in February, will have a pretrial detention hearing at 9:30 a.m. Monday, according to the Hillsborough County State Attorney's office.

At the hearing, prosecutors will argue Arnold, 23, should be denied bond and kept in jail ahead of his trial. Arnold faces four counts of kidnapping and four felony counts of armed robbery. According to the state attorney's office, the criminal charges that will be filed against him carry a potential sentence of up to life in prison.

Arnold was arrested Wednesday night at Orient Road Jail in Hillsborough County after voluntarily turning himself in, according to a release from the city of Tampa. Arnold, who made his first appearance in court Thursday via satellite, has denied any involvement in the incident through his spokesperson, Denise White, the CEO of EAG Sports Management.

"Terrion Arnold categorically denies any involvement in the matters underlying the allegations made against him and maintains his innocence," White's statement said.

"There is no credible evidence linking Mr. Arnold to these allegations. Instead, the government appears to be relying on testimony from multiple convicted felons who have admitted their own involvement and may have substantial incentives to shift blame in an effort to lessen their sentences.

"Mr. Arnold looks forward to his day in court and is confident that the judicial process will lead to his ultimate vindication."

In a statement Wednesday night, the Lions said: "We are aware of the legal situation regarding Terrion Arnold. We will not comment at this time out of respect for the ongoing legal process.”

Arnold is accused by the state attorney's office of "coordinating and directing" the armed robbery and kidnapping of multiple victims in retaliation for a pair of thefts that occurred at Arnold's rental home in Largo, Florida.

Arnold was the seventh person arrested in connection with the incident. All six of Arnold's codefendants were denied bond. It is alleged that the victims were robbed, beaten and held at gunpoint. "The victims ... had visible injuries from being battered, held at gunpoint, and pistol-whipped before their personal property was stolen and they were told to leave," said a release from the city of Tampa.

It's alleged that Arnold believed the victims had stolen more than $200,000 worth of personal items from the Airbnb property. According to the state attorney's office, "there is no evidence to prove the victims were involved in the theft."

According to the state attorney’s office, the investigation into Arnold’s involvement included “cell phone evidence and corroborating testimony provided by co-defendants,” which “helped establish Arnold’s role in planning and directing the crimes.”

State attorney Suzy Lopez said in a statement Wednesday night, "No one has the right to take the law into their own hands. A dispute over missing property does not justify kidnapping, violence, or retaliation."

Added Lopez: "This arrest is the result of months of investigative work and collaboration between the Tampa Police Department and our prosecutors. We will continue to pursue justice for the three victims by holding everyone accountable for their roles in this crime.”

Codefendants Boakai Hilton, Lyndell Hudson, Freddie Lee Hughes III and Christion Williams are currently awaiting trial behind bars, according to the state attorney’s office. Codefendants Jasmine Randazzo and Arianna Del Valle pleaded guilty in court Wednesday to their roles in the incident, the office said.

Arnold is accused by authorities of being the "primary conspirator" in the case. The city of Tampa, said Wednesday night that "investigators found Del Valle streamed the incident to Arnold, Hilton and Hughes as they were traveling to the apartment." It's also alleged that Arnold gave directions to Del Valle, Williams and Hudson during the assault.

Text messages obtained by The Detroit News in March through an open-records request with the state attorney's office revealed Arnold's name was mentioned several times during the planning of the incident. Cell phone records from Del Valle and Randazzo allege Del Valle gave instructions to lure the victims to the location at Arnold's request.

When Del Valle initially instructed Randazzo to invite the victims over to her house, she followed up, "That's what Terrion said." After Randazzo agreed to take part in the scheme, she asked Del Valle who she was with. "Terrion," Del Valle wrote. Randazzo later asked what the purpose of inviting the victim to her apartment was. Del Valle responded, "they tryna set him up." Del Valle followed up, "nd he tryna pay us for it." Del Valle explained to Randazzo that the victims "stole all the rest of their" stuff.

Arnold's name was first attached to the case on Feb. 24, during a pretrial detention hearing for Hilton. Hillsborough County Circuit Judge J. Logan Murphy granted the state's motion against Hilton and said the robbery and kidnapping were the direct result of "Arnold and his friends" deciding to "take matters into their own hands" after the thefts, which included high-end bags, guns, jewelry, a cell phone, and cash.

According to the order from Judge Murphy, Randazzo invited one of the victims to her apartment in Tampa. The victim allegedly arrived at the apartment with the two other victims in his car. Two of the victims approached the home, where allegedly Del Valle greeted them and told them that Randazzo was not home.

Thinking Del Valle was joking around, the two victims allegedly began searching the home for Randazzo. Upon the victims opening a closet door in a bedroom, it's alleged Hudson and Williams jumped out with weapons in hand, including an AR rifle and a semi-automatic firearm. Hudson and Williams took the two victims "hostage in the bedroom, interrogating, beating and pistol-whipping them for the better part of an hour."

The third victim, who was waiting in the car, allegedly entered the apartment out of growing suspicion. It's alleged that he was immediately pistol-whipped and taken into the bedroom as well. Following the third victim's arrival in the bedroom, Judge Murphy's order states Del Valle began to video the encounter on FaceTime.

One of the victims allegedly had the barrel of a firearm stuck into his mouth, and it was demanded that he return the stolen property. The victims never admitted to stealing Arnold's property, the order said.

According to the city of Tampa, the three victims were "escorted out of the apartment by the armed suspects" and "forced into their cars" before the victims were able to flee the scene. The city of Tampa said "Del Valle, Williams, and another individual entered a vehicle being driven by Arnold and subsequently left the scene."

Arnold was a first-round pick by the Lions in the 2024 NFL Draft. He had an up-and-down start to his NFL career through two seasons. His 2025 season ended prematurely because of a severe shoulder injury, which required surgery. Arnold was a participant at the team's mandatory minicamp and was spotted during multiple OTA practices in Allen Park this past spring.
