Terrion Arnold was granted a $1,000,000 bond on Monday after a Tampa Bay court ruled that the state did not have enough evidence to form a case against the 24-year-old cornerback.
Shortly after the ruling was announced, Arnold was seen smiling alongside his attorneys as the court also made the provision to let Arnold walk without an ankle monitor, provided he strictly followed the conditions laid out by Judge Christopher Sabella.
However, the Lions eventually decided to waive Arnold just hours after he was granted permission to return to practice.
James Harrison, a two-time Super Bowl champion with the Steelers, spoke on the situation on Tuesday:
“I don’t think the Lions cut these ties like this and move if they don’t have some inside information that’s saying, “Hey, I might want to let you go.”
Harrison also pointed out that Arnold will be losing all the guarantees in his contract, now that he has been waived, and unless he is declared innocent, there’s no way of getting that money back.
Terrion Arnold Can Now Be Ordered To Wear An Ankle Monitor As Prosecution Files Appeal
While Judge Sabella had given Arnold permission not to wear an ankle monitor, citing that it would serve as a deterrent given the cornerback would be participating in physical activities when training with the team, Arnold’s release from the Lions can now change that.
According to the Detroit Free Press, the prosecution has now filed a motion to take away Arnold’s no-tracker privileges since he isn’t part of an NFL roster anymore.
Dave Birkett wrote on X (formerly Twitter):
“Prosecutors in Florida have filed another motion seeking to have Terrion Arnold wear an ankle monitor tracking device now that he’s been released by the Lions. Hearing at 9:30 am Monday.”
