Alvin Kamara was arrested in Las Vegas on Sunday afternoon just hours after the conclusion of the 2022 NFL Pro Bowl. According to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, Kamara was identified as the suspect in a battery incident on Saturday night that ended in bodily harm.
The incident occurred at a Las Vegas nightclub on the 3500 block of South Las Vegas Boulevard around 6:00 p.m. on Saturday. The victim, Darnell Greene, arrived at a local hospital not long after, where police officers questioned him and later identified Alvin Kamara as the suspect.
According to NFL.com, the victim was entering an elevator with Kamara and several others. Kamara put his hand on the victim’s chest to prevent him from entering the elevator. After resisting, Kamara pushed the victim, caused him to stumble, and then proceeded to attack him.
