Officers Still Searching For Second Assailant

One man has been arrested and accused in the kidnapping and assault of NFL player Javon Walker.

Arfat Fadel was booked into Clark County Detention Center on multiple felonies, including kidnapping and robbery, Lt. Clint Nichols said.

Police are looking for a second suspect who, they said, may still be in Las Vegas.

Walker, 29, got into a vehicle with the two men early June 16 after partying on the Strip, police said. The Oakland Raider was found later that morning beaten and unconscious on a side street.

Walker suffered a moderate concussion and a broken eye socket. He was treated at an area hospital and has since returned to California.

In a statement issued last week through his agent, Walker thanked his fans for their support. He also said, during an interview, that he was beaten inside his room at the Bellagio and dragged from the hotel, eventually being dumped on a side street.

Officials from the Bellagio said their information did not support this story.

The assailants took $3,000 in cash and about $100,000 in jewelry, Walker said.

Walker just signed a six-year, $55 million deal with the Raiders after being released by the Denver Broncos in February.
