Detroit Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold has reportedly retaliated after being a victim of two robberies at his rental properties. Arnold is now accused of kidnapping and armed robbery with his friends.
A Florida court order from Hillsborough County has tied Arnold to a criminal investigation involving an armed robbery and kidnapping that occurred in Tampa on Feb. 4, 2026. The prosecutor alleges the armed robberies were made in retaliation after thefts at a property Arnold had rented in Largo, Florida.
High-end bags, guns, jewelry, a cellphone, and $100,000 in cash were stolen from an Airbnb rental linked to Arnold, who filed the police report on Feb. 4. In response to this, Arnold, with Boakai Hilton, allegedly carried out the kidnapping and robberies during a car ride. The state’s motion for Hilton’s pretrial detention has been granted.
“While traveling in a car with Arnold back from Tallahassee, Hilton orchestrates the ambush,” the court order read.
Has Terrion Arnold Been Charged For Potential Retaliation?
Terrion Arnold has not been charged or arrested yet.
According to court documents, Arnold allegedly hired Yan Lopez as his personal driver, tasked with transporting the cornerback and his friends to and from his AirBnB rental property in Largo. Lopez introduced his friend, Daniel Tenesaca, to Arnold, with hopes that the Lions star could be interested in hiring him as a celebrity barber.
According to Hillsborough County Circuit Judge J. Logan Murphy, Arnold suspected Lopez of being behind the pair of robberies.
“Arnold began to suspect that Lopez may have had a hand in the burglaries,” Murphy wrote. “And though they had reported the theft to Largo authorities, Arnold and his friends decided to take matters into their own hands.”
Arnold carried out the retaliation with the help of Arianna Del Valle, who is referred to as cornerback’s girlfriend. As per a text message, Del Valle asks Jasmine Randazzo to lure in Tenesaca in her Tampa Bay apartment. Randazzo was reportedly paid for acting as bait.
Tenesaca and his friend Soljah Anderson came to Randazzo’s apartment while Lopez stayed in the car. Tenesaca and Anderson were informed by Del Valle that Randazzo was not at the apartment. When they started searching by entering the house, defendants Lyndell Hudson and Christion Williams jumped out with weapons. They took both of them hostage.
Lopez grew suspicious and also entered the house. Even he was taken out and Del Valle began a livestream on her phone.
“There, one of the defendants stuck the barrel of his firearm into Lopez’s mouth, demanding he return the stolen property and Arnold’s phone. Before the victims left, the co-defendants took their phones and wallets,” Judge Murphy wrote. “This was all done ostensibly to get Lopez, Tenesaca and Anderson to admit that they stole the property from the Airbnb, which they never do.”
They held them hostage until Arnold and Hilton arrived. They fled the scene on gunpoint, but one of the victims identified Hilton. As a result, Del Valle was arrested on Feb. 4, Randazzo was arrested on Feb. 6, and Hudson and Williams were both arrested on Feb. 12.
It remains to be seen if Arnold will be charged for this armed robbery. Meanwhile, the Lions have not said anything on the matter yet.
