Las Vegas police have made an arrest in a robbery and assault case involving Raiders’ wide receiver Javon Walker.
Lt. Clinton Nichols said Tuesday that 30-year-old Arfat Fadel is suspected of multiple felonies including kidnapping and robbery. Police said Fadel was arrested Friday and police were looking for a second suspect.
Nichols said police believe the second man is still in Las Vegas.
He said the 29-year-old Walker got into a vehicle with the two men early June 16 before he was found beaten and unconscious on a side street near the Las Vegas Strip.
Walker told police $3,000 in cash and about $100,000 in jewelry were taken.
This story makes a little more sense than Walker claiming he was just chillin’ in his hotel room and bunch of guys came, beat the crap out of him and left him unconscious on some street. I don’t get why Walker lied, though. He was going to be the victim of the story no matter what, so why lie about being dragged out of his hotel room? Because he didn’t want to look like the fool that got into a car with a couple of guys that robbed him and served him up the beating of a lifetime? Strange story.
