“Throw That Thug”: Alvin Kamara and Chris Lammons Face Fans’ Flak as Nightclub Brawl Goes Viral

The NFL world grasped in the 2023 Pro Bowl celebrations at Allegiant Stadium this year. However, something far more sinister was going down at a nearby strip nightclub last year, during the 2022 Pro Bowl weekend. New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara was getting into a heated brawl with a civilian. And the video footage just came out.

Kamara wasn’t alone in the controversy. Accompanying him on the Sin City night out was Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Chris Lammons. The video surveillance footage shows the NFL players in a hallway of the said nightclub along with some incriminating evidence from the players’ limousine from the February 5, 2022, incident.

Alvin Kamara and Chris Lammons face criminal charges

According to 8 News Now’s first report, the Clark County grand jury indicted Lammons and Kamara last week. The list of indicted also included Christopher Young and Percy Harris, the latter identified to be Alvin Kamara’s manager. All four received criminal charges of conspiracy to commit battery, resulting in substantial bodily harm, as per the official reports.

A court date of March 2, has been assigned for the hearing. And because of the indictment, the case has bypassed the Las Vegas Circuit Court to reach the district court. Fans called the duo “thugs.”

The Saints drafted Kamara in 2017, and in his six years in Louisiana, the running back hasn’t recorded a single 1000-yard season. And now, with the added criminal record, some Saints fans have had enough.

So how did it all go down?

The victim, Darnelle Greene, filed a civil lawsuit going up to $10 million for damages. It all went down in front of the elevator during the early hours. When the doors opened, Greene was denied entry. And Kamara pushed Darnelle before Lammons joined in. Greene doesn’t remember anything after he was knocked out. However, whatever he remembered was enough for the court to pass the indictment.

According to the grand jury indictment and Greene’s civil lawsuit, Chris Lammons attacked “Greene in the head, neck or upper chest.” After that, the Saints RB “charged [Greene] in order to strike and/or punch [him] about the head, neck, chest, upper back, and/or torso area.” Kamara also reportedly bragged, “I connected with the [expletive]’s jaw so hard,” once the players were back in the limo.

“He intends to vigorously fight the allegations at trial as he was defending himself and others at the time of the incident,” Alvin Kamara’s lawyers said last week. And the Saint will surely hope for a quiet resolution.
