New Orleans Saints' Alvin Kamara indicted for alleged incident in Las Vegas, per report
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara and three others have been indicted by a Clark (Nevada) County grand jury for an alleged beating at Drai’s Nightclub in Las Vegas last year, according to a report.
Kamara, Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Chris Lammons and two other men are facing criminal charges for an incident outside of a Strip nightclub on Feb. 5, 2022, per 8 News Now. Kamara was arrested on Feb. 6, 2022, and the four men are facing charges of conspiracy to commit battery and battery resulting in substantial bodily harm.
"The State has avoided a contested preliminary hearing by indicting Mr. Kamara. He intends to vigorously fight the allegations at trial as he was defending himself and others at the time of the incident," Kamara's attorneys Drew Findling, David Chesnoff and Richard Schonfeld wrote in a statement to USA TODAY Sports.
According to the report, the victim, Darnell Greene, told Las Vegas Metro police that he was waiting outside an elevator at Drai’s Nightclub with a group of people, including the four suspects. When the elevator opened, Kamara put his hands on the alleged victim. Greene pushed Kamara’s hands off him and then Lammons punched Greene and knocked him back against a wall, the report indicates.
Greene has also filed a civil lawsuit in Louisiana.
“(Kamara) chased Greene down the hall and proceeded to strike him multiple times until he was knocked to the ground,” the lawsuit said, per 8 News Now. “At no point during the attack did Greene hit, punch, or push Kamara or any of his associates.”
The Saints declined to comment at this time when reached out to by USA TODAY Sports.
A judge set a court date for March 2.
