What to know about Terrion Arnold police incident, robberies

Meanwhile, several townhouse owners noted "many cars were coming and going from Arnold’s rental the night of the robbery" and that the garage door had been left open at least part of the night.

Lopez estimated in a police interview there had been at least 70 people at the house the night of the robbery, including many he didn't know.

Arnold also acknowledged he didn't know everyone who was at the house. He specifically mentioned that his girlfriend's friends had brought some of their friends over to the house one night after they spent time at the club.

"I’m not really a fan of that," Arnold said in one police interview. "That’s how people get robbed."

However, Arnold didn't believe any member of that group could have accessed the townhouse and commit the robbery, as they didn't know the entry code for the front door. Lopez did, and Arnold noted his driver had "also invited strangers to the house during the week."

Arnold also opined he believed Lopez had the opportunity to orchestrate the robbery when the Lions cornerback and his friends attended Tangra nightclub in Ybor City.

Arnold noticed the following day his property was missing. He didn't immediately realize it had been stolen – he thought his girlfriend may have taken some of it or it had been placed in a different rental –until his sister contacted him and asked why his phone's location was in Miami.

He became suspicious of Lopez after learning the driver had posted images of the townhouse, some of Arnold’s goods and himself in one of Arnold’s cars, a blue Lamborghini Urus registered to a business in Atlanta, on social media.

"I just know kind of piecing it together, I know this is something that has kind of transpired for a while," Arnold said in one video. "This didn’t just happen. This is almost like, I feel like I got played with."

That's why Arnold accused Lopez of orchestrating the crime and expressed a desire to sue the driver.

"I just want my property back," Arnold said. "I told him, I said after I get my property back I’m going to sue him for everything that happened."

Details of robbery, kidnapping plot

Largo police sought to interview Lopez and his friend Daniel Tenesaca, who Arnold also implicated as a possible suspect in the robbery. Upon arriving at Lopez's residence in Wesley Chapel, Florida, around 3:30 p.m. on Feb. 5, they were met by a detective from the Tampa Police Department.

The detective briefed Largo police on the kidnapping and robbery case he was working, "as he believed our cases were related."

Lopez, Tenesaca and a third, unidentified friend were allegedly lured to Del Valle and Randazzo's shared apartment shortly after midnight Feb. 4, less than an hour after Arnold and friends detailed their missing items to Largo police.

Lopez, Tenesaca and their friend were allegedly pistol-whipped, held at gunpoint and interrogated about their involvement in Arnold's missing property case by a man who jumped out of a closet "holding an AR-style rifle."

Del Valle allegedly filmed the assault on FaceTime.

A police report by Largo's Shane Quick "explained that Freddie [from my case] would show up later and batter them as well. It was believed that Boakai was inside the next room of the apartment and that Terrion was outside in a vehicle. Detective Barnett explained that he was still actively investigating this case, but Yani`s mother had called him after I spoke with her. Detective Barnett advised that Arianna was currently in custody for three counts of kidnapping and three counts of robbery with a firearm."

Prosecutors further alleged in a motion for pretrial detention that Hilton "gave directions to all the co-defendants regarding luring Daniel Tenesaca to the residence and actions to take when he arrived" and later "joined the livestream to watch and direct actions against the victim."

The third victim identified Hilton as being inside the apartment, wearing yellow pajama pants, according to the filing.

Lopez has denied taking Arnold's belongings and, according to a policy report, he said "he believes it was someone in Terrion's inner circle who had taken the items" and "he was attacked to make it look like they were trying to find the items, when it was actually one of them who took everything."

"That’s all that happened," Lopez said in the 53-minute recording of his interview. "And then Monday, cool. Tuesday, by that Tuesday night going into Wednesday, that’s when we were held hostage."

Hilton, Hughes, Del Valle, Randazzo, Hudson and Williams are scheduled for a jury trial Aug. 17. The Lions will be in the middle of training camp and the NFL preseason at that time.
