NFL Players Alvin Kamara and Chris Lammons Reach Plea Agreement for Casino Attack
Popular professional football players, Alvin Kamara from the New Orleans Saints and Chris Lammons of the Cincinnati Bengals, will avoid jail time following their plea agreement for a physical altercation that happened the previous year at a Las Vegas casino.
According to recent updates, both athletes will be required to complete 30 hours of community service and pay the victim, Darnell Greene, $105,196.17 for any medical expenses incurred.
Both Kamara and Lammons confessed to the charges of disturbing the peace, as reported by the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
When the incident first occurred, all four of them, including Kamara, were charged with the more serious crimes of battery with substantial bodily harm and conspiracy to commit battery. The event unfolded when Kamara allegedly obstructed Greene from getting into an elevator outside the nightclub.
It's uncertain how long the NFL will punish Kamara for this occurrence, as sources suggest he might be instructed to sit out between four and six football games.
Lawsuit Resolved
A civil lawsuit between Greene and Kamara was settled as well. The settlement's details weren't disclosed, but Kamara did issue Greene a heartfelt apology.
“Please accept my sincere apologies for the events of February 5, 2022 in Las Vegas,” Kamara said. “I am happy that we have moved past this unfortunate incident, and I wish you the best for the future.”
Initially, Greene anticipated acquiring more than $10M in the court action brought on in Louisiana.
Greene alleged that he endured kicking, punching, and being chased. His head also collided with a wall during the fight and he lost consciousness, along with sustaining a "disfiguring facial fracture" and blunt trauma to his skull from the beating, according to legal paperwork.
Percy Harris and Darrin Young, two other suspects, also accepted plea agreements where they pled no contest to battery. Each will serve 50 hours of community service or face a $500 fine. As part of the agreement, they're prohibited from visiting the Las Vegas Strip for six months.
"Unprovoked Beating"
Earlier this year, the four suspects pleaded not responsible to conspiracy to commit battery and battery inflicting severe harm. This incident took place amid Pro Bowl Weekend at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium, with Kamara engaging in the event.
Attorney Tony Buzbee, who represented Greene, described the attack as "an unprovoked beating of an innocent man organized by Mr. Kamara."
“Mr. Greene was solely attempting to board an elevator and was beaten almost to death," Buzbee added.
