Damon Arnette Arrested on Drug, Gun Charges in Texas

The former Raiders cornerback's legal team disputes the charges, claiming a misunderstanding over prescribed medication.

Former Las Vegas Raiders cornerback Damon Arnette was arrested in Richardson, Texas, on January 6 for possession of less than a gram of meth and unlawful carrying of a firearm.
Arnette's legal team disputes the charges, claiming the substance was a prescribed medication and that the arrest was a misunderstanding.
The arrest adds to a series of legal troubles for Arnette, including previous arrests for drug possession, assault with a deadly weapon, and driving on a suspended license.
Arnette, a first-round draft pick in 2020, has struggled to maintain his NFL career amid off-field issues.
Arnette's legal representatives are working with local law enforcement to resolve the matter before any charges are brought by the District Attorney’s Office.
