Saints’ Alvin Kamara Indicted in Las Vegas for Role in Alleged Beating, per Report

The charges reportedly include conspiracy to commit battery and battery resulting in substantial bodily harm.

A grand jury has indicted Saints running back Alvin Kamara and three others for their alleged involvement in a Las Vegas beating in 2022, per David Charns of 8 News Now. 

A Clark County grand jury indicted Kamara, Bengals cornerback Chris Lammons and two others for an incident outside of a strip club on Feb. 5, 2022, during Pro Bowl weekend. The charges include conspiracy to commit battery and battery resulting in substantial bodily harm.

The man who has alleged the attack, Darnell Greene, told Las Vegas Metro police that he was waiting outside an elevator at Drai’s Nightclub alongside a group of people, including the four men indicted. When the elevator doors opened, Kamara put his hand on the victim’s chest to stop him from entering the elevator, according to the arrest report obtained by Sports Illustrated. 

Per a $10 million lawsuit filed by Greene, Kamara allegedly shoved Greene into a wall and punched him several times in the face. After Kamara punched Greene the first time, the suit states that Greene attempted to run to protect himself. However, Kamara chased Greene down a hall and struck him several more times until he fell to the ground, per the filing.

Photos and surveillance footage showed Kamara striking Greene three more times while he was on the ground. According to the complaint, at “no point during the attack did Greene hit, punch or push Kamara or any of his associates.” In addition to Kamara, a photo revealed one of his associates kicked and stomped Greene as he lay defenseless on the ground. As Greene was lying unconscious for more than two minutes, Kamara and his friends were escorted through a back door to the nightclub’s valet, where they jumped into a black Cadillac SUV and exited the property.

Despite the arrest and lawsuit, Kamara played the entire 2022 season for New Orleans. A judge has set a court date for March 2, per 8 News Now.
