Arrest Made In Javon Walker Kidnapping Case

Cops arrested one suspect and is seeking another in the Javon Walker kidnapping and beating case...
Police said Arfat Fadel, of Las Vegas, was accused of multiple felonies, including kidnapping, robbery, battery and conspiracy in the June 16 robbery that left Oakland Raider Javon Walker unconscious in a Las Vegas Hotel driveway with a broken eye socket and $103,000.00 lighter in the pockets.

Lt. Clinton Nichols said at a news conference, "The suspects knew who Mr. Walker was. He did not know who they were. Whether they were part of his entourage or not remains to be seen. He willingly got in their vehicle [a black Range Rover] on his own. We're unsure why." Nichols also said the two men were seen in some of the crowded nightclubs where Walker was shown on surveillance videotapes partying from about 9 p.m. June 15, until shortly before he was found unconscious at 7:19 a.m. the next morning about a block east of the Las Vegas Strip.

Fadel was booked on the Walker case while he was being held at the Clark County jail on unrelated kidnapping and battery domestic violence charges after an arrest Friday, jail records show.
