LAS VEGAS (AP) — Police learned Saturday that New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara was a suspect in a felony beating of a man at a Las Vegas Strip nightclub, but did not arrest Kamara until after he played in Sunday’s NFL Pro Bowl. A department spokesman acknowledged Monday the alleged victim was treated for facial injuries at a hospital. Later in the day, detectives identified Kamara as a suspect, but didn’t contact him until the Pro Bowl. Kamara is charged with felony battery and is free on bond with a March 8 court date. Records did not immediately identify Kamara’s attorney.
