Saints running back Alvin Kamara was shockingly arrested in Las Vegas on Sunday, booked for battery resulting in substantial bodily harm, according to Las Vegas Metropolitan Police. However, new details have emerged, as TMZ Sports revealed Kamara was actually arrested at Allegiant Stadium — the site of the 2022 Pro Bowl.

“TMZ Sports has learned Alvin Kamara was arrested at Allegiant Stadium after the Pro Bowl,” wrote TMZ Sports. ” … After investigating, cops determined Kamara was allegedly the guy who doled out the beating. They were able to track down the 5x Pro Bowler on Sunday and take him into custody without incident, according to police.”

Evidently, officers just turned on the television to find the man they were looking for. Kamara was taken to Clark County (Nevada) Detention Center and was booked for a felony. The investigation is ongoing.

According to Clark County’s website, Kamara was in custody and was being held on a $5,000 bail as of Sunday. His first scheduled court appearance is on Monday, Feb. 8 at 4:30 p.m. ET.

According to the 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.

Kamara was arrested for the incident just hours after the 2022 NFL Pro Bowl, where he rushed for four catches for 23 yards.

After a successful college career which started at Alabama and ended at Tennessee, Alvin Kamara became a part of the New Orleans Saints running back room. He split time with others throughout the earliest years of his career but took on an increased role when healthy this season.

Kamara just finished the second year of a five-year, $75 million contract. With a lot of moving parts ongoing as the Saints begin their new era, Kamara just wanted everything to fit correctly.

His main goal remained to help out in any ways that he could. Despite injuries along the way, he managed to make another Pro Bowl appearance this season.
