The Kansas City Chiefs have released 2020 first-round cornerback Damon Arnette after he was arrested Friday night in Las Vegas, a source told NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

Arnette was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon, carrying a concealed weapon, and possession of a controlled substance, according to TMZ Sports.

A witness told TMZ Sports that Arnette, 25, drew a gun during a dispute with a valet after trying to retrieve a car without a valet ticket.

Kansas City signed Arnette to a reserve/futures contract on Jan. 20. The Las Vegas Raiders, who drafted Arnette 19th overall in 2020, released him in November after he threatened to kill someone while holding multiple guns in a video.

A lawsuit filed in October also accuses Arnette of injuring a woman in a car crash and fleeing the scene.

The Ohio State product appeared in 13 games with the Raiders through the 2020 and 2021 seasons.
