The Brief Lions DB Terrion Arnold faced a Florida judge Monday and was given a $1 million bond on charges of armed robbery and kidnapping. The judge said that there was not enough evidence to hold him in jail due to him not physically being in the location of the alleged crimes. The decision to not give Arnold an ankle monitor tether is due to the court not wanting to interfere with his ability to earn a living - while acknowledging the uniqueness of his job.



Terrion Arnold was in court for charges of armed robbery and kidnapping Monday in Florida, but won't be held in jail for the accused crimes.

Despite Terrion Arnold getting a win in court - the Detroit Lions released him later at 4 p.m. There has been no other statement released by the team, however.

Dig deeper:

Arnold was given a $1 million bond by Chief Judge Chistopher C. Sabella, who said he  relunctantly  refused the prosecution request for an ankle monitor to not interfere with his ability to work - while recognizing the unique situation.

Judge Sabella said Arnold will instead have a  paparazzi monitor  with the bright light of media coverage following his case.

 If he's late for practice, ESPN will let us know,  he said.  If he disappears, the world will know before he knows. If he shows up on a beach in Tahiti, he'll be on social media. If he violates the conditions of his bond, he will be found because they will find him. And you will come back because the law will bring you back. And then you will sit with no bond until your trial. 

Arnold is facing eight charges, including four for robbery/firearm/deadly weapon, and four for kidnapping/harm/terrorizing. He was also ordered to have no contact with any co-defendant or witness, and surrender his passport in 24 hours.

The judge said that he considers the case serious  in the first quarter  but due to the evidence in the case, said that the standard for keeping Arnold in jail without bond was not met. One of the key factors is that Arnold was not physically in the location where the crime he is charged for, occurred.

 I understand (the prosecution's) argument regardin
