Lions release Terrion Arnold after allegations player orchestrated kidnappings and beatings

• Cornerback's bail set at $1m by judge of Florida

• Prosecutors say player believed he was robbery victim

The Detroit Lions have released cornerback Terrion Arnold, only days after his arrest over allegations that he orchestrated the abduction and beating of three men. Prosecutors believe he wrongly suspected the men of having stolen luxury goods and $100,000 in cash from him.

The Lions made the announcement on Monday. The team did not give a reason, but the announcement came the same day that a Florida judge set Arnold's bail at $1m.
