Lawyers for NFL star Alvin Kamara appear in court on his behalf

Lawyers for New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara appeared in court Tuesday morning.

Kamara, Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Chris Lammons, Percy Harris and Darrin Young each faces a felony count of battery resulting in substantial bodily harm and a gross misdemeanor count of conspiracy to commit battery in connection with a Feb. 5 brawl at The Cromwell.

Defense attorney John Spilotro, who is representing Young, told Las Vegas Justice of the Peace Harmony Letizia that the attorneys are waiting to receive records of the altercation and its aftermath.

“There’s more than the video,” Spilotro said. “There’s a bunch of interviews. There’s also surveillance out of the limo. I’ve just been through what they provided us. There’s a lot of electronic surveillance.”

The defendants did not appear in court with their attorneys.

Police arrested Kamara just after he played in the NFL Pro Bowl game at Allegiant Stadium, the day following the alleged attack. According to an arrest report, the attack happened as the men were leaving the casino.

Kamara told police he punched a man who was running away, and said he thought the man had done something to someone in his group, the report said.

Police said the footage did not show the man running away, but rather being attacked by Kamara and four other men.

The victim told police that Kamara prevented him from entering an elevator by putting his hand on the man’s chest, the report said. When the man pushed Kamara’s hand away, Kamara shoved him.

According to the report, surveillance video showed that Kamara punched the man about eight times, Lammons punched him once and stomped on him three times, Harris stomped on him 16 times, and Young stomped on him four times.

A limousine driver told police that after the attack, he drove the men from The Cromwell to Vdara.

“(The driver) informed detectives that the limo had audio and video recording of the interior,” according to Lammons’ arrest report.

Lammons’ attorney, Ross Goodman, has said the alleged attack “appears to be an unplanned and spontaneous altercation.”

Harris and Young were arrested Feb. 14, while Lammons turned himself in at the Clark County Detention Center a few days later. All four of the men have been released from custody after posting bail.

A preliminary hearing in the case is scheduled for April 25.
