Saints running back Alvin Kamara has agreed to plead guilty to a misdemeanor charge for his role in a 2022 Las Vegas brawl, according to Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football.com. The felony charge of battery resulting in substantial bodily harm is going away, according to the report.
Kyle J. Paine of 8 News Now was the first to report the news. He will plead no contest to the misdemeanor charge of breach of peace and he will have to do community service and pay $100,000 to Darnelle Greene, the man who reported the attack, for his medical bills, per the report. Kamara’s attorney, David Chesnoff, confirmed to ESPN that he took the plea deal and avoided the felony charge.
“Alvin is pleased that this matter is behind him and looks forward to a successful NFL season,” Chesnoff said in a statement.
