Total Pro Sports reports that the New Orleans Saints’ Alvin Kamara could face as much as a 6-game suspension after battery arrest. There is even more heat on the head of Alvin Kamara because he’s also facing a “charge of battery resulting in substantial bodily harm, a felony in Nevada.” He’s got legal issues to settle with the law enforcement and with the NFL, it’s disciplinary issues.
According to the Las Vegas Defense Group, the penalty for a conviction on the charges can be 1-to-5 years in prison and carries a mandatory fine of $10,000.
In the official press release Sunday night, LVPD said officers were dispatched to a nearby hospital to speak to a person who reported a battery. Upon arrival, a ‘still shaken’ Darnell Greene told officers he could recall the fight and describe one male.
Greene stated said he was leaving the club and waiting by the elevators. He walked upon a group of people waiting outside and started having a conversation with them. When the elevator opened, everyone walked towards the opening doors. That’s when Kamara placed his hand on Greene’s chest to stop him from entering the elevator. Greene says he then pushed Kamara’s hand off his chest. He was then shoved and stumbled back when he says he started being hit and punched by multiple people before losing consciousness.
Video has since shown what the victim stated happened on that day. Greene suffered an orbital fracture on his right eye and there is a chance he may need surgery.
Because this was a battery on a man, not a woman and Kamara has never had any issues beyond this, I expect his punishment to be very light. At most 1-2 games and probably none. Unless the NFL wants to make some example out of him, I don’t see them coming down on him too hard.
