NFL star running back Alvin Kamara arrested and accused of battery hours after playing in the Pro Bowl

• NFL star running back Alvin Kamara was arrested on Sunday after he played in the Pro Bowl.
• He was booked on a charge of battery resulting in substantial bodily harm, Las Vegas police said.

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara was arrested on Sunday after playing in the NFL Pro Bowl game, police in Las Vegas said.

Kamara, 26, was booked on a felony charge of battery resulting in substantial bodily harm, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said in a press release shared on Twitter.

According to the department's release, officers first started investigating on Saturday evening after a person at a local hospital reported being battered at a Las Vegas nightclub.

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police said detectives "determined the suspect was battered by the suspect, later identified as Alvin Kamara."

Kamara, meanwhile, played in the NFL Pro Bowl on Sunday, during which he caught four passes for 23 yards.

It's unclear if police deemed him a suspect before or after the game. LVMPD told Insider that the department knew Kamara would be participating in the Pro Bowl and said he was interviewed at Allegiant Stadium after the game.

The police department said in its statement that officers detained Kamara "without incident" on Sunday after the Pro Bowl and brought him to the Clark County Detention Center.

Online records show that Kamara has since been released from jail. He is set to appear in court on Monday at 1:30 local time.
