One of the more unfortunate storylines across the NFL is the number of players that have been arrested on various charges.

The number has increased over the years, which is an issue that the NFL claims to be working hard to resolve. At least 15 former and current NFL players have been arrested so far this year.

Here are the most notable names.

5 NFL players who were arrested in 2022

​

#1 - Damon Arnette, Las Vegas Raiders and Kansas City Chiefs

Las Vegas Raiders defensive back Damon Arnette.

After a string of incidents, the Las Vegas Raiders released Damon Arnette in November 2021. He caused injury in a hit-and-run in October and also got into a heated argument with a casino employee in November. The last straw was when he made a TikTok video holding multiple guns and making death threats.

Here's #Raiders GM Mike Mayock explaining the decision to release CB Damon Arnette: "We cannot stand for the video of Damon Arnette with a gun threatening to take a life. The content was unacceptable."

The Kansas City Chiefs signed Arnette in January 2022 to a provisional NFL contract with a zero-tolerance policy. He was only able to stay out of trouble for a little more than a week when he was arrested in Las Vegas after pulling a gun on a valet at a casino. The Chiefs immediately released him after being charged with assault with a deadly weapon and drug possession.

#2 - Bud Dupree, Tennessee Titans

Bud Dupree was involved in an incident at a Walgreens retail store in Nashville, Tennessee, in January 2022. There was an altercation between several customers and store employees when Dupree stepped in and laid his hands on an employee. Dupree was reportedly not inside the store for the initial altercation but later entered after one of the customers left and came back with him.

Dupree decided to turn himself in to the police a little over a month later, where he was booked and processed by the Nashville County Police Department. He was officially charged with misdemeanor assault for his minor involvement in the incident.
