New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara arrested in Las Vegas after playing in Pro Bowl
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara was arrested and charged with battery Sunday in Las Vegas soon after he finished playing in the NFL's annual Pro Bowl.
Las Vegas police say they were called to a hospital on Saturday night, when the alleged victim reported being injured in an altercation at a nightclub on the Las Vegas Strip. An investigation led authorities to Kamara, who was taken into custody without incident.
Kamara was booked for battery resulting in substantial bodily harm. He remained in jail Sunday night. His bail was set at $5,000 and a court hearing is scheduled for Monday afternoon, a jail official said.
Earlier Sunday, Kamara played in the AFC-NFC Pro Bowl, catching four passes for 23 yards.
Kamara, who led the league with 21 total touchdowns in 2020, was named to his fifth consecutive Pro Bowl team in his five-year NFL career.
