According to the report, Damon was arrested in Richardson, Texas, at 3:30 a.m. local time on Jan. 6, 2024, and now faces charges of unlawful carrying of a firearm and possession of less than a gram of meth.
Legal representatives for Arnette claimed the report of the arrest is “simply incorrect.”
“Our client, at the time of the stop, was unable to provide law enforcement with his prescription for a lawful medication. The arrest was predicated on Mr. Arnette being unable to prove the medication was prescribed, had he been able to do so at the time of the stop there would have been no arrest for either the controlled substance of the firearms.”
“Our offices are working with the local law enforcement to rectify this matter before any charges are brought by the District Attorney’s office.”
