Terrion Arnold Appears in Florida Court Order Linked to Alleged Armed Robbery and Kidnapping

Detroit Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold has been named in a Hillsborough County Circuit Court order that links him to an alleged armed robbery and kidnapping that took place in Tampa, Fla., after an Airbnb he had rented nearby was burglarized twice. The development matters because the court order frames the incident as retaliation tied to the thefts and identifies multiple participants, victims and a detailed timeline of events.

Terrion Arnold appears in court order

The court order from Judge J. Logan Murphy includes Arnold's name while the judge granted the state’s request to hold Boakai Eugene Hilton, 23, without bond. The order describes a sequence of events prosecutors say involved Arnold and others acting in retaliation for burglaries at an Airbnb Arnold had rented in Largo, Fla. Court records show the Airbnb thefts included the loss of $100, 000 in cash, an $80, 000 necklace, designer bags and an NFL-issued cellphone.

Allegations against Boakai Eugene Hilton and described role

Boakai Eugene Hilton faces three counts of kidnapping to harm or terrorize and three counts of robbery with a firearm, all charged as first-degree felonies punishable by life in prison. Hilton pleaded not guilty. The court order states that text messages show Hilton "orchestrates the ambush" while traveling with Arnold back from Tallahassee.

Timeline: burglary, police report and the Feb. 4 incident

• Feb. 3, 10: 00 p. m.: Arnold called the Largo Police Department to file a police report about the stolen money and items, a spokesperson with the Largo Police Department said.
• Feb. 4, about two hours later: The alleged robbery and kidnapping of Daniel Tenesaca, Soljah Anderson and Yan Lopez occurred in Tampa, Fla., the court order.

How the court order describes recruitment and ambush

The court order describes text messages in which Arnold’s girlfriend, Arianna Del Valle, instructed Jasmine Randazzo to lure Daniel Tenesaca to an apartment and act as bait after Tenesaca expressed romantic interest in Randazzo, with a promise that Arnold and his friends would pay Randazzo for helping. Tenesaca, Soljah Anderson and Yan Lopez arrived at the apartment; Lopez remained in the car while Tenesaca and Anderson went to the third floor. Del Valle let them inside and told them Randazzo was not home. When Tenesaca opened a bedroom closet, he was confronted at gunpoint by Lyndell Hudson and Christion Williams, who were armed with an AR-style rifle and a semiautomatic handgun, court documents state.

Victim treatment described in the order

Judge Murphy wrote that the victims were taken hostage in the bedroom, interrogated, beaten and pistol-whipped for the better part of an hour. The order states that Lopez, growing suspicious, approached the apartment; after hearing the commotion he entered and was pistol-whipped in the back of the head before being taken to the bedroom with Tenesaca and Anderson. The judge characterized the actions as vigilante justice, writing that the co-defendants sought to take matters into their own hands rather than allowing law enforcement to investigate and retrieve the stolen property.

Legal status, team response and career details

Online court and police records indicate Terrion Arnold, 22, has not been arrested or charged by authorities in connection with the Feb. 4 incident. The Lions declined to comment on an ongoing legal matter. Arnold is identified in the court documents as a 2024 first-round pick out of Alabama who has started 22 of 24 games for Detroit.
