Two associates of New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara have turned themselves in to authorities in connection with a battery that involved the star at a popular Las Vegas nightclub earlier this month, Metro Police said.
Darrin Young and Percy Harris were booked Monday at the Clark County Detention Center on counts of battery resulting in substantial bodily harm and conspiracy to commit battery, police said.
Both posted bond on Tuesday, according to Las Vegas Justice Court records. Metro is still investigating the matter.
Kamara was arrested Feb. 6 after playing in the NFL Pro Bowl at Allegiant Stadium. He also faces counts of battery resulting in substantial bodily harm and conspiracy to commit battery.
Police said Kamara, Young and Harris left a man — identified in Kamara’s arrest report as Darnell Greene — unconscious and with a right orbital fracture about 6:30 a.m. the day before at Drai’s After Hours nightclub at the Cromwell.
Surveillance footage showed Kamara and three associates, among them purportedly Young and Harris, approaching an elevator while Greene was off to the side speaking with a woman, according to Kamara’s arrest report.
The elevator doors opened, and they all began to move toward the elevator when Kamara put his hand on Greene’s chest and Greene pushed it off, police said.
Kamara then pushed Greene before another man next to Kamara punched Greene in the face and knocked him back against a wall, police said.
Kamara lunged toward Greene and punched him several more times, causing Greene to fall to the floor unconscious, police said.
Kamara is then seen punching Greene three more times, while three other people in Kamara’s group stomped on Greene, police said.
The report notes that Greene never hit Kamara or his associates.
Kamara was seen punching Greene at least eight times, according to the arrest report.
Security officers showed up and pulled Kamara and his associates off Greene, police said. Kamara and his party were escorted to the valet area and left in a black Cadillac SUV, police said.
After the Pro Bowl, police contacted Kamara at Allegiant Stadium, where officers interviewed him about the altercation, police said.
Kamara told officers Greene called one of his friends ugly and threatened to beat somebody up, according to the police report.
Kamara said a fight involving Greene broke out next to him and acknowledged throwing punches, according to the report. Kamara said he thought Greene did something to his group, according to the report.
Kamara is scheduled to appear March 8 in Las Vegas Justice Court. Young and Harris each have court appearances scheduled for March 16.
