Credit to Coach Saban, I’d be happy to have him in my corner and defending me in a situation like this. However, I don’t think I’d ever find myself doing anything like this:
Police say this all started after Terrion Arnold and several others had property stolen from an Airbnb Arnold rented in Largo in early February. Investigators say Arnold believed some of the eventual victims were responsible, even though police later determined they were not involved in that theft. On February 3, police say Arnold and Boakai Hilton — who investigators say helped coordinate the alleged setup — directed Arianna Del Valle and Jasmine Randazzo to contact one of the victims and lure him to an apartment in Tampa. Around midnight on February 4, investigators say the victims arrived at the apartment. Once they entered a bedroom, police say Christion Williams and Lyndell Hudson — who had been hiding in a closet — jumped out, grabbed the victims, held them at gunpoint, and attacked them. Investigators say the incident was streamed to Arnold, Hilton, and Freddie Hughes while they were traveling to the apartment. Police also say there was a group chat involving the defendants, and that Arnold and Hilton gave directions through that chat while the attack was happening. About an hour later, police say Arnold arrived at the apartment with Hilton, Hughes, and another person, and that he directed them to go inside while the robbery was still going on. Investigators say property was stolen from the victims during the attack. At around 1:40 a.m., police say the victims were escorted out of the apartment by armed suspects and forced into their vehicle before leaving the scene. Police say Del Valle, Williams, and another individual then got into a vehicle driven by Arnold and left the area. The victims later reported the incident to Tampa Police and identified the suspects. After search warrants were executed and the investigation continued, detectives arrested multiple people in the case over the following weeks. Police say Arnold was the primary conspirator in the alleged robbery/kidnapping plot. He turned himself in Wednesday night and is now facing 4 counts of kidnapping and 4 counts of armed robbery.
Yeesh. Let’s hope the carpet really tied the room together.
This sounds a bit like a drug deal gone bad to me. AirBnb rentals have nothing to steal unless you bring a UHaul.
At least he wasn’t speeding.
Wow.
Saban put his own name and address where the addresse’s name and address goes on a letter? Did Saban mail it to himself?
If I was the judge I would wonder if some knucklehead forged the letter or I would wonder about Saban.
Yeah, who starts a letter “My name is”? I guess he put “Privileged and Confidential” on it, so that meant it wouldn’t become public and he could write the letter as poorly as he wanted….
On a more serious note, these midwits are really lucky their “genius revenge plan” did not turn out much, much worse; all it could’ve taken was someone getting a bit nervous or jumpy for all hell to break loose and them looking at murder charges….
I’ve seen it formatted like this before.
And summarily released by the Lions yesterday. Sad way to ruin a NFL career.
He was white as snow in Tuscaloosa. I wonder what was stolen? Why not just file a police report?
Can’t report stolen drugs.
According to the reports it was Luis V bags and Rolexes AND $100k in cash … I am with those who think this some type of drug deal gone bad. Also it appears that the victims here had nothing to do with any theft.
My gut tells me his “partners” in this escapade double-crossed him on some type of deal and then thought they could pin it on someone else.
Florida man it’s contagious.
The whole time Saban was at Gumpville, every football player was required to go to choir practice each week. Thus, the term Tuscaloosa Choirboy!!!
Arnold, another Tuscaloosa Choirboy!!
Let that be a lesson. If Arianna and Jasmine call you and want to meet at an apartment, it’s probably a honey trap.
Apparently nobody learned a damn thing from OJ Simpson, whose armed robbery conviction in Las Vegas arose out of stealing back his own stuff in a somewhat similar setup.
Another example of “When Keepin’ It Real Goes Wrong.”
