Although Terrion Arnold was cut by the Detroit Lions yesterday, he did receive some good news. He wouldn't have to be stuck in jail until his trial for robbery and kidnapping begins.
What may have saved Arnold from spending any time in jail is a letter from his former head coach at Alabama, Nick Saban.
According to several news outlets, Saban wrote a letter vouching for Arnold's character,
“I write this letter because of the exceptional character I witnessed in Terrion Arnold over the more than six years I have known him,” Saban wrote.
“Over the years, I have welcomed Terrion into my home and around my family. He has consistently treated my family and my staff with respect, humility, and kindness. In all the time I have known him, he never once gave me cause to question his conduct, his integrity, or his respect for others. I don’t ever recall him being involved in any behavior that would be described as aggressive or irresponsible.”
“Based on my experiences with Terrion, I remain committed to supporting him,” Saban wrote. “While I’m not overly familiar with or educated on the charges he is facing, and understand the seriousness of his situation before the court, I would respectfully ask the Court to take into account my experience with Terrion, his character, history, and the positive impact he had on our program.”
Arnold was a favorite of Saban's wife, Terry Saban, while he was in Tuscaloosa, and there were no reports of off-the-field issues during his time there.
