NFL's Terrion Arnold Faces $1 Million Bond in Shocking Kidnapping Case New

NFL's Terrion Arnold Faces $1 Million Bond in Shocking Kidnapping Case

A judge in Florida set Detroit Lions NFL cornerback Terrion Arnold's bond at $1 million on Monday, denying the prosecutors' request that he remain held without bond on charges alleging he orchestrated a kidnapping in which three men were robbed and beaten at gunpoint.The 23-year-old NFL player is one of seven people arrested in connection with the "targeted armed robbery" last February in Tampa, police said. Arnold is accused of "coordinating and directing" the codefendants in an alleged conspiracy to "lure" the three men to an apartment, where prosecutors say they were beaten in retaliation for the alleged theft of more than $200,000 worth of Arnold's personal property from an Airbnb in which he had stayed with friends days earlier in Largo, Florida, according to the Hillsborough County State Attorney's Office.Terrion Arnold, a Detroit Lions cornerback, is brought out by a Hillsborough County officer before his pretrial detention hearing at the Hillsborough County Courthouse, June 29, 2026, in Tampa, Fla.Jefferee Woo/Tampa Bay Times via APArnold surrendered to authorities on Wednesday and was initially denied bond following his arrest on multiple armed robbery and kidnapping charges. He faces a potential sentence of up to life in prison if convicted on the charges, prosecutors said.A county prosecutor alleged during a detention hearing in Tampa on Monday that Arnold was "the reason why this gets set in motion.""There's three individuals that had guns pointed in their faces because of this defendant," Kevin Riley, an attorney with the Hillsborough County State Attorney's Office, said.Defense attorney Harvey Steinberg asked the judge not to find probable cause. He argued that the evidence presented so far only shows that Arnold was "suspicious" that his phone was taken and wanted to confront someone, but that there is "zero evidence" that he was aware that there was going to be a beating or guns involved."Did my client direct them? Nope," Steinberg said.Terrion Arnold, a Detroit Lions cornerback, takes his seat before his pretrial detention hearing at the Hillsborough County Courthouse, June 29, 2026, in Tampa, Fla.Jefferee Woo/Tampa Bay Times via APJudge Christopher Sabella found there was probable cause, calling the case "serious," but denied the state's motion to detain Arnold ahead of trial. He set bond at $1 million, saying the amount was "consistent with the serious nature of the charges."Among the bond conditions, Arnold must surrender his passport and is only allowed to leave his residence for work or legal purposes. The state had asked that Arnold be required to wear an ankle monitor, which the judge denied after Arnold's defense argued that the monitor would make him unable to work due to strict NFL requirements regarding attire."I don't want to interfere with his ability to make a living," Sabella said, adding that he suspects Arnold will have a "paparazzi monitor" that will make his whereabouts known."If he shows up on a beach in Tahiti, he'll be on social media," Sabella said. "If he violates the conditions of his bond, he will be found."Terrion Arnold, a Detroit Lions cornerback, shakes hands with his attorneys R. Timothy Jansen, left, and A.J.

On Feb. 3, Arnold and others reported a loss totaling more than $250,000 to the Largo Police Department, police said. The men, all in their late teens, were allegedly beaten and pistol-whipped by two of the co-defendants, while a third streamed the assault to Arnold and other suspects who were traveling to the apartment, police said. Investigators uncovered a group chat in which Arnold and another suspect allegedly gave directions during the assault, police said.Terrion Arnold is seen in a booking photo released by the Hillsborough County State Attorney's Office on June 24, 2026.Hillsborough County State Attorney's OfficeAfter arriving at the apartment, Arnold allegedly directed the other suspects to go inside, at which point the victims were robbed during the ongoing assault, police said. Their wallets, phones, jackets, cash and jewelry totaling more than $6,200 were stolen, according to the criminal report.Nearly two hours after arriving at the apartment, the victims were escorted out by armed suspects and left in their vehicle, police said. Arnold never entered the apartment or interacted with the victims, based on the police statement.The victims reported the incident to Tampa police and "positively identified the suspects," police said. The three victims had "visible injuries from being battered," police said.Arnold allegedly suspected that two of the three victims were responsible for the theft, though investigators ultimately determined that none of them were involved, Tampa police said.Cell phone evidence and "corroborating testimony" from the co-defendants also "helped establish Arnold's role in planning and directing the crimes," the Hillsborough County State Attorney's Office said.Among the six codefendants arrested in connection with the case, four men are being held without bond, while two women pleaded guilty on Wednesday to robbery and kidnapping charges, according to the state attorney's office. As part of their plea agreements, they are required to testify truthfully in proceedings related to the case, the office said. Terrion Arnold #0 of the Detroit Lions looks on during an NFL Football game against the San Francisco 49ers at Levi's Stadium, Dec. 30, 2024, in Santa Clara, Calif.Michael Owens/Getty ImagesArnold's sports management team said he "categorically denies any involvement in the matters underlying the allegations made against him and maintains his innocence.""There is no credible evidence linking Mr. Arnold to these allegations," Denise White, CEO of EAG Sports and Entertainment Agency, said in a statement to ABC News. "Instead, the government appears to be relying on testimony from multiple convicted felons who have admitted their own involvement and may have substantial incentives to shift blame in an effort to lessen their sentences."Following Monday's hearing, White said the the judge's ruling "confirms that there is very little evidence to even suggest any criminal involvement by Mr. Arnold."The Lions said in a statement to ABC Detroit affiliate WXYZ that they are "aware of the legal situation" involving Arnold and "will not comment at this time out of respect for the ongoing legal process."Arnold, a native of Tallahassee, Florida, played at the University of Alabama and was a first-round pick in the 2024 draft.

SCOTUS Decision on Mail Ballots Sparks Nationwide Debate New

SCOTUS Decision on Mail Ballots Sparks Nationwide Debate

In a ruling with direct bearing on the midterm elections, the Supreme Court on Monday narrowly upheld a Mississippi law allowing tabulation of late-arriving mail-in ballots so long as they were postmarked by Election Day.Justice Amy Coney Barrett, writing for the 5-4 majority, wrote that federal election statutes -- which say nothing about ballot receipt -- do not override states' ability to set their own policies for handling tardy votes by mail. "The Framers recognized the difficulty of crafting election laws applicable to every probable change in the situation of the country. So instead of constitutionalizing election law, they decided that a discretionary power over elections needed to be lodged somewhere. Suffice it to say, that power was not lodged in this Court," Barrett wrote.An election worker processes mail-in ballots at the Los Angeles County Ballot Processing Center during California's state primary election in the City of Industry, Calif., June 2, 2026.Patrick T. Fallon/AFP via Getty ImagesThe decision is a loss for the Republican Party, which brought the case, and the Trump administration, which has pushed to override state election rules nationwide by imposing strict federal limits on voting by mail.The president on Monday called the Supreme Court’s decision a "tremendous loss" and again called on Congress to pass the SAVE America Act, his signature election and voting reforms legislation.Senate Majority Leader John Thune has repeatedly said there aren't enough Republican votes for it to pass.The 29 states that currently accept some timely cast but late-arriving mail-in ballots -- sometimes up to several days after polls have closed -- will be able to continue providing a grace period.In dissent, Justice Samuel Alito, joined by Justices Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, wrote that the decision flouts the meaning of "Election Day" as set forth in federal law."Not only is today's decision inconsistent with statutory text, legal context, historical practice, and precedent; it also threatens to produce lamentable consequences," Alito wrote. "The majority's holding spawns a slurry of troubling election-law questions and risks further undermining Americans' confidence in election integrity."The U.S. Supreme Court in Washington, June 29, 2026.Cheney Orr/ReutersThe outcome is a win for Mississippi, which had defended its policy of accepting ballots up to five days after voting had ended, and voting rights advocates who had argued that decades of legal precedent supported the primary authority of states to run their own elections.However, in response to the decision, Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves, a Republican, called on the state legislature to change the law upheld by the Supreme Court.Popular Reads"Just because the Court ruled the practice constitutional doesn’t mean we should allow it in our state," Reeves said in a post on X Monday. "Next session, I call on the Mississippi Legislature to repeal the COVID-era law and require mail-in ballots to be received by the clerk by 5:00pm on Election Day in order to be counted."Voters heavily reliant on the U.S. Postal Service, such as rural, overseas and disabled voters, had feared a higher risk of having ballots rejected if delivery is delayed, election watchdog groups said.Lateness is the primary reason mail ballots are rejected nationwide, according to the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC).During the 2024 election, 28 million mail ballots were cast in the 14 states with postmark deadlines and grace periods, according to EAC. Roughly 725,000 were not counted because they were late. The Democratic National Committee, which had filed a brief in the case, celebrated the Supreme Court's decision on mail ballots by saying "democracy prevailed.""The DNC is proud to have stood with the State of Mississippi to defeat the RNC’s latest attack on Americans' voting rights," DNC chair Ken Martin wrote in statement on Monday.The Supreme Court ruling comes as Trump has pushed aggressively to increase federal oversight of mail-in voting. A Trump executive order signed in March 2026 would require states to submit approved voter lists to the U.S. Postal Service, which in turn would be tasked with ensuring ballots are only delivered to eligible residents. Last week, Federal District Court Judge Indira Talwani of Massachusetts put the order on hold, writing in her decision, "The Constitution reserves the power to determine voter eligibility to the States alone. Neither the Executive Branch nor Congress may interfere with this power."The Postal Service has not yet implemented a proposed policy change to comply with Trump's order, but a top USPS official confirmed to Congress that his agency would refuse to deliver ballots unless states turn over lists of voters. "No law enacted by Congress delegates authority to control mail-in voting to USPS. The voting-related guidance currently issued by USPS is not binding on the States, merely recommended," Talwani’s ruling said.

Prince Harry's Bold Move to Protect His Kids During UK Visit

Prince Harry is exploring “every available option” to bring his two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, to England despite security concerns. The Duke of Sussex’s spokesperson told Page Six on Monday that the biggest “issue” with Harry’s trip to the UK with wife Meghan Markle and their kids is “whether appropriate security will be provided throughout the visit.”“Prince Harry’s programme in the United Kingdom includes both public and private engagements across the country,” the statement read. “Safe accommodation is only one element of an effective protective security plan because risk follows the person, not the place.”Prince Harry (seen above with son Archie and daughter Lilibet) is exploring “every available option” to bring his kids to the UK despite security concerns, his spokesperson told Page Six.

Luigi Mangione's Courthouse Elevator Drama Delays Trial Until 2027 New

Luigi Mangione's Courthouse Elevator Drama Delays Trial Until 2027

Luigi Mangione’s wild ride through the justice system stalled out Monday — when he got stuck in a Manhattan court elevator for 20 minutes, delaying a hearing in his federal case.The 28-year-old accused killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was in the lift with his escort of US Marshals, headed to the courtroom, when the contraption suddenly stopped, courthouse sources told The Post. Assistant U.S. Attorney Dominic Gentile speaks as Luigi Mangione, the suspect in the murder of UnitedHealth Group executive Brian Thompson, sits with his defense attorneys Karen Friedman Agnifilo and Marc Agnifilo during his federal court hearing in New York City. REUTERS“It was some sort of elevator issue, that’s all I know,” Mangione’s lawyer, Karen Friedman Agnifilo, said when asked about the snafu outside the courtroom.“Can’t wait to hear what you guys find out about that!” she added when another journalist grilled her for specifics on the elevator situation.After a brief delay, Mangione, clad in tan jail scrubs, eventually made it to the courtroom, where Judge Margaret Garnett pushed his federal trial back to January 2027 to allow time for a separate state case starting Sept. 8.His federal trial had been supposed to start in October, but Garnett said she did not want both trials to potentially take place concurrently.Mangione, a prep-school and  Ivy League grad and the scion of a wealthy Maryland family, has pleaded not guilty to executing Thompson in a targeted December 2024 hit on a Midtown sidewalk, possibly over anger over the country’s healthcare system.

Supreme Court's Ruling on Trump's FTC Firing Sparks Debate New

Supreme Court's Ruling on Trump's FTC Firing Sparks Debate

The Supreme Court ruled on June 29 that President Donald Trump acted within his authority when he fired a member of the Federal Trade Commission, marking a significant win for his view of executive power.In a 6–3 decision, the court’s majority overruled a landmark precedent limiting the president’s power to fire federal officials.The case, Trump v. Slaughter, focused on FTC Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter’s argument that Trump violated federal law when he removed her last year.More specifically, she said his removal was not based on neglect or one of the other reasons Congress said could be used as a basis to fire a commissioner.She also pointed to a landmark Supreme Court decision known as Humphrey’s Executor v. United States.In that case, the Supreme Court said that former President Franklin Delano Roosevelt wrongly fired another commissioner. It also disagreed that Roosevelt’s authority under Article II of the Constitution allowed him to override Congress’s limits on firings.Related Stories“If anything more is left of Humphrey’s, we overrule it,” said Chief Justice John Roberts, who wrote the majority opinion. “Humphrey’s has for decades been a result in search of a rationale.”He added that Congress’s limits on the president’s firing power had violated the nation’s separation of powers. “In its present form, the FTC enforces and administers some 80 statutes, which cover almost every facet of our Nation’s economy,” he said. The agency’s tasks, he said, were “the very essence” of the execution of law, which is “precisely the President’s constitutional role.”Justice Sonia Sotomayor penned a dissent joined by Justices Ketanji Brown Jackson and Elena Kagan.“Today, the Court discards that democratic regime in favor of one that distorts the structure of Government to fit the majority’s theory of unitary, total executive control,” she said. “The result is a President who emerges with far greater power than ever before.”Trump celebrated the ruling as a “BIG WIN” in a post to TruthSocial. “It is such an Honor to be the sitting President who won this Historic and Unprecedented Ruling, one of the most important ever given with respect to Presidential Powers,” he said.The decision was one of the most consequential of the Supreme Court’s 2025–26 term and followed a series of legal challenges to Trump’s ability to fire the heads of so-called independent agencies. Courts had cited Humphrey’s Executor in blocking Trump’s firings, arguing that the agencies exercised a form “quasi-legislative” or “quasi-judicial power.” In 1935, the Supreme Court said those powers allowed Congress to limit the president’s ability to fire members of those agencies. Since then, however, the court under Roberts has shown skepticism of the reasoning in Humphrey’s Executor but didn’t completely overturn it. Roberts criticized Humphrey’s Executor on June 29 but also clarified that the court’s decision was limited to the FTC and that other agency heads may receive greater protection.“All we do today is recognize what has been clear for a century—that those who fall within the President’s ‘general administrative control’ must be removable by the President at will,” he said. He was quoting a decision known as Myers v. United States, which said the president could fire certain officials at will.Roberts’ opinion came on the same day as the Supreme Court blocked Trump’s firing of Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook. In that case, Trump v. Cook, he disputed the idea that the president should be able to fire Cook at will.That, his majority opinion said, was “out of step with the statute Congress enacted and our Nation’s tradition of central banking protected from political interference.”This is a developing news story and will be updated.

Supreme Court's Bold Move on Geofence Warrants Sparks Privacy Debate New

Supreme Court's Bold Move on Geofence Warrants Sparks Privacy Debate

The Supreme Court on Monday limited law enforcement's use of sprawling "geofence warrants" that track a suspect using cellphone location data from a broad swath of users, including people with no connection to a crime. In a 6-3 decision, Justice Elena Kagan wrote that collection of location data through a geofence warrant implicates the Fourth Amendment's protections against unreasonable searches and seizures -- a setback for the federal government, which argued the warrants were a critical law enforcement tool that did not amount to a search at all.The U.S. Supreme Court in Washington, June 29, 2026.Cheney Orr/Reuters"An individual has a reasonable expectation of privacy in records about his cell phone's location, and police intrude on that constitutionally protected interest when they demand the information -- even though for only a limited time, and from a third-party tech company," Kagan wrote for the majority. Kagan concluded that location data -- which she described as "a personal journal of a user's movements" -- resembles other kinds of private materials such as emails, photographs or documents and should be "shielded from the 'inquisitive eyes' of the government.""Today's decision follows from the same judicial obligation, to guard against the same risk of undue encroachment. The Fourth Amendment applies, too, when officials tap into Google's 'database of physical location information.' That database is new, but the principle covering it is not: That principle is instead the one our history has given. The Fourth Amendment must, as ever, protect against unjustified governmental intrusion on the privacy of the individual," Kagan wrote. Justices Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas and Amy Coney Barrett dissented. In his dissenting opinion, Justice Alito argued the ruling was an "irresponsible escapade" and "destabilizes longstanding Fourth Amendment jurisprudence."In effect, the ruling requires authorities to obtain a narrowly tailored warrant before examining cellphone data of a broad swath of users in an area. Brett Max Kaufman, senior counsel with ACLU’s Center for Democracy, called the new restrictions on geofence warrants "critical protection against invasive and overbroad government searches of our personal information."Popular Reads"Law enforcement and courts are on notice that new technology does not open up surveillance loopholes, and strict adherence to the Fourth Amendment’s protections is required," Kaufman said.  While the Supreme Court ruled that location data is protected by the Fourth Amendment, the justices did not weigh in on the legality of the search that prompted the legal challenge -- instead leaving that issue for the lower courts to reexamine.The landmark decision stemmed from a case involving a 2019 bank robbery in Virginia. Law enforcement was able to track down the robber using a geofence warrant that included the location data for every cellphone within a 150-meter radius of the robbery.While Okello Chatrie, the suspect and Supreme Court plaintiff, eventually pleaded guilty to the armed robbery and was sentenced to serve 12 years in prison, his lawyers have argued that the warrant violated his Fourth Amendment rights because it allowed law enforcement to "to search first and develop suspicions later."Google has since changed its policies on geofence warrants, storing the information on a user's phone rather than a separate database; however, the companies such as Apple, Lyft, Snapchat and Uber still retain location information and could be impacted by the ruling, according to Michael Levy -- a former federal prosecutor and adjunct professor at University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School. Greg Nojeim, a senior counsel at the Center for Democracy & Technology, applauded the Supreme Court's ruling and said it "slammed that door shut" on law enforcement misusing location data."This decision sets the right direction for user privacy: carrying a phone and using apps -- doing the ordinary things cellphone users do -- does not compromise your rights," Nojeim said.

Chris Johnson's Heartbreaking ALS Diagnosis at 39 Sparks Emotional Reactions New

Chris Johnson's Heartbreaking ALS Diagnosis at 39 Sparks Emotional Reactions

Former NFL star and three-time Pro Bowl running back Chris Johnson revealed he has been diagnosed with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease.Johnson said in an interview with "Good Morning America" co-anchor Michael Strahan that he was diagnosed with the disease last year, at age 39."There's no history of ALS in my family," Johnson said in the interview that aired Monday on "GMA." "My doctors believe my case is what's called sporadic ALS, which is actually how the vast majority of ALS cases happen."ABC News' Michael Strahan interviews former NFL star Chris Johnson about his ALS diagnosis in an interview that aired on "Good Morning America" on June 29, 2026.ABC NewsHe continued, "That's one of the reasons this disease can be so shocking. It can happen to someone who never expected it."Johnson, who was selected in the first round of the 2008 NFL draft by the Tennessee Titans, said he was in the prime of his life last year, working out daily and spending time with his wife and four children, when he noticed the first symptom of what he later learned was ALS."I first noticed weakness in my right hand," he said. "At first, it was little things like my grip didn't feel right and I wasn't as strong as I've always been."Johnson's wife, Brittany Johnson, said she thought his hand weakness was the result of his years spent on the football field. The running back ran over 11,000 total offensive yards in his NFL career, before retiring in 2017."I thought because of football and, you know, his career, that it had to be something with that," she told Strahan. "Maybe ... a pinched nerve or something along those lines, but never ALS."ABC News' Michael Strahan interviews former NFL star Chris Johnson and his wife Brittany about his ALS diagnosis in an interview that aired on "Good Morning America" on June 29, 2026.ABC NewsALS, short for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, is a degenerative neurological disorder that eventually leads to paralysis, taking away a person's ability to move, speak, swallow or even breathe, according to the National Institutes of Health.Researchers have studied possible links between ALS and factors such as injury or physical activity, but no confirmed cause has been found for most cases.There is currently no known cure for ALS, but some treatments may slow down the progression of the disorder and improve the quality of life for patients with ALS. The NIH states that most people with ALS die from respiratory failure, usually within three to five years of symptoms first appearing, though about one in 10 people with the condition live 10 years or more.Chris Johnson described receiving the diagnosis of ALS as a "shock," revealing that the doctor who diagnosed him said a medication may extend his life by a few months and that he and his wife should "get our affairs in order.""Honestly, I don't know if you ever fully process it," he said of the diagnosis. "At first, you're in shock. Then you realize you have two choices. You can give up, or you can fight. I chose to fight."In this Oct. 26 2015, file photo, running back Chris Johnson #23 of the Arizona Cardinals looks on in the second half of the NFL game against the Baltimore Ravens at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.Nils Nilsen/Getty Images, FILEThe former NFL star said his journey with ALS changed after watching an interview last year featuring ABC News' Diane Sawyer and the late actor Eric Dane, who died due to ALS in February, along with Dane's doctor at the time, Dr. Merit Cudkowicz, a neurologist and leading ALS researcher.Popular Reads"After watching 'Good Morning America' and seeing Dr. Merit with Eric Dane, we reached out to her," Chris Johnson said. "She was willing to think more creatively, offering experimental treatments that might help and advance research."He continued, "We've been with her ever since, and that changed the course of our fight."Cudkowicz, professor of neurology at Harvard Medical School and executive director of the Mass General Brigham Neuroscience Institute, told "GMA" she believes Johnson’s participation in a clinical trial as part of his care may have helped in his fight against ALS."Chris has been on standard of care, which is about three different medications that slow down the illness," she said. "But he was also part of a clinical trial, a therapy that decreases inflammation, and I think that helped him a lot."Still, in Chris Johnson's case, the disease has progressed so rapidly that he now uses a speech-generating device to speak. Soon after his diagnosis, his voice was recorded, so his speech-generating device delivers a voice that sounds just like his."It's continued to progress much faster than I ever imagined. I want people to understand just how quickly ALS can attack your body," he said. "Just over a year ago, I was picking up my 7-year-old daughter so she'd make a wish with her birthday cake. Today, I couldn't do that."In this July 18, 2018, file photo, NFL player Chris Johnson attends The 2018 ESPYS at Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty Images, FILEChris Johnson added that his wife and their children have kept him going through the medical obstacles since his diagnosis."She hasn't left my side through any of this," he said of Brittany Johnson. "My kids are also a huge part of why I keep going. Every day I wake up wanting more time with them to make more memories and just be their dad. They give me a reason to keep fighting."And for Brittany Johnson, though caregiving is "tough," she said she doesn't doubt supporting her husband through it all."Our life has shifted so much. It's a heavy workload," she said. "But I have no doubt that this is what, you know, I was called to do."The Johnsons said they are sharing their story to raise awareness of ALS and the need for ALS research.An effort to support ALS research in honor of Chris Johnson has been established at the Sean M. Healey & AMG Center for ALS, which Cudkowicz, his doctor, leads."I can't even hold a cup if I try, and that's despite being diagnosed relatively early and doing everything we can, including participating in multiple experimental treatments," Chris Johnson said. "That's why early detection, more research, and better treatments are so important. We have to give people a better chance than what's available today."He said he not only wants to share his story to raise awareness of ALS, but also to let people know that he is still the Chris Johnson they know from his NFL days and beyond."I want people to know that I'm still me. ALS has changed what my body can do, but it hasn't changed who I am," he said. "People sometimes look at the physical disability and assume you're not still the same person inside. I still think the same. I still dream. I still love my family. My body just doesn't cooperate."
