The Las Vegas Metro Police Department announced that New Orleans Saints Pro Bowl running back Alvin Kamara was arrested over the weekend in Las Vegas and charged with battery resulting in substantial bodily harm.

Police announced Kamara’s arrested in a news release (which can be read in full here), noting that officers were dispatched Saturday to a local hospital where a person was reporting battery. The victim said that the incident happened at a nightclub on the 3500 block of South Las Vegas Boulevard. Police investigators determined the victim was battered by Kamara. They located Kamara on Sunday, took him into custody without incident and booked him into the Clark County Detention Center.  Kamara posted $5,000 bail and was released. He has a March 8 court date on a charge of battery resulting in substantial bodily harm; a conviction on the charge could result in a sentence of one to five years in state prison.

The 26-year-old Kamara has earned Pro Bowl selections in each of his five NFL seasons; he made four catches for 23 yards in the 2022 Pro Bowl on Sunday at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nev, where the AFC team beat the NFC team 41-35 in the annual NFL all-star game.  Kamara signed a five-year, $75 million contract extension with the Saints in 2020; the contract runs through 2025, but features a potential opt-out before the 2024 season. During the 2021-22 season, Kamara totaled 1,337 yards from scrimmage and nine scores in 13 games.
