Alvin Kamara, a running back, is facing felony battery charges following an incident that occurred earlier this year during Pro Bowl weekend in Las Vegas. He is accused of being involved in an incident outside of a nightclub on February 5. Surveillance video from the incident shows Kamara allegedly punching a man repeatedly, leaving him hospitalized. Kamara was reportedly identified as a suspect that same day and NFL security was informed hours before kickoff for the February 6 Pro Bowl that police were looking for the 26-year-old, according to TMZ Sports. Authorities allegedly came to an agreement with the NFL that the running back would be allowed to play the exhibition game and that Kamara would speak to them afterward. Kamara's lawyers have postponed his hearing multiple times. The hearing is currently scheduled to begin on September 29. Kamara has not yet been penalized by the NFL for his involvement as they wait for the legal process to play out.
