TAMPA, Fla. – Detroit Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold appeared before a judge Monday after turning himself in for his alleged role in a targeted Tampa kidnapping and armed robbery.

The 23-year-old NFL player faces multiple felony counts stemming from a February attack.

Arnold granted bond

What we know:

A judge granted Arnold a $1 million bond Monday but ordered him to remain confined to his home except for work and legal appointments. The defense successfully argued against GPS monitoring, stating a tracker would be unsafe on the football field.

Criminal investigation

The backstory:

Investigators say the incident began after luxury items worth over $250,000 were stolen from a Largo Airbnb Arnold rented on Feb. 1. Believing he knew who was responsible, Arnold and another man allegedly coordinated a targeted ambush, according to police.

Co-defendants face charges

By the numbers:

Six other suspects were previously arrested in February and March in connection with the targeted assault. Two of the co-defendants, Arianna Del Valle and Jasmine Randazzo, pleaded guilty last Wednesday.
