METAIRIE, La. — New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara apologized at length Friday for his role in a 2022 fight in Las Vegas that left a man injured.
Kamara took responsibility for his role in the incident, which occurred on the eve of the Pro Bowl last February. He was taken into custody at Allegiant Stadium after the game. «It's a tough ordeal to be in,» Kamara said after Saints practice Friday. «You know, I never want to be involved in something where someone gets hurt or severely injured or anything.
Poor judgment on my end, definitely a bad decision, but I'm a man. Everything I've ever done in my life, I've stood on. And I can take accountability for it and I can say when I'm wrong and I was completely wrong.» Kamara and three men, including Indianapolis Colts cornerback Chris Lammons, initially faced felony charges of battery with substantial bodily harm and misdemeanor charges of conspiracy to commit battery.
Kamara recently reached a plea agreement that reduced his charge to misdemeanor breach of peace. The deal requires him to complete community service hours and pay $105,000 in medical bills to the man injured in the fight.
