The Detroit Lions cut cornerback Terrion Arnold on Monday, days after his arrest in Florida on eight felony counts tied to a February robbery and kidnapping case.

Arnold, 23, surrendered to police last week. He was still in custody Monday when a judge set his bond at $1 million, rejecting prosecutors’ request to hold him without bail.

The judge, Chief Circuit Court Judge Christopher Sabella, also refused to order an ankle monitor as a condition of bond.

Arnold was ordered to stay at his home in Tallahassee except while playing, traveling or training with an NFL club, only to be dropped by the Lions hours later.

Four charges against Arnold were for robbery with a deadly weapon or firearm and four others were four kidnapping, the Hillsborough County Sherriff's Office told the NFL's website.

Each charge carries a possible life sentence.

Arnold is accused of taking part in a plan to hold and assault three people he thought had robbed him. A spokesperson for Arnold said the cornerback “categorically denies any involvement in the matters underlying the allegations made against him and maintains his innocence.”

Arnold started 22 of his 24 games for Detroit across the last two seasons, recording 91 tackles, eight pass deflections and one interception.
