Yet another Las Vegas Raider is making headlines for the wrong reasons.
Second-year defensive back Damon Arnette was a trending topic on social media late Friday, after a video appeared to show him waving a series of guns and making death threats against someone trolling him by direct message.
"The f---?" Arnette says at the start of the grainy clip, which he apparently posted on TikTok. "I'll real-deal kill you," he says to his antagonist multiple times.
"Five minutes away? Pull up, lame ass. I swear to god I'll kill you. On everything I love, I'll kill you. You're talking crazy."
A separate video appeared to show the heated and profane exchange that prompted Arnette's threats.
The jarring video surfaced on the same day it was reported Arnette had been sued last month over an October 2020 car crash that allegedly left a woman with a slew of injuries.
Records showed the 2020 first-round draft pick had pled guilty to two misdemeanors and paid fines resulting from the case, according to The Las Vegas Review-Journal.
The recently filed civil suit claims Arnette barreled into the woman's car while making a right-hand turn at a red light at a high rate of speed. He allegedly left the scene of the accident on foot, and had a passenger in his vehicle claim that they in fact were the person behind the wheel.
Arnette was allegedly on his way to Raiders practice at the time of the crash, and was later "confronted" at team facilities, where he admitted what happened.
Raiders interim head coach Rich Bisaccia acknowledged that the Raiders were aware of the lawsuit against Arnette but declined further comment.
The Arnette incidents have come to light in the wake of disgraced former head coach Jon Gruden's resignation, and the release of wide receiver Henry Ruggs following his arrest on charges of DUI leading to death after he allegedly caused a fatal, fiery wreck that claimed the life of a 23-year-old woman in Las Vegas this week.
Despite the turmoil, the Raiders were 5-2 heading into a Week 9 matchup against the Giants in New York. Kickoff was set for 1 p.m. ET.
