New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas was arrested Friday following an incident involving a contractor outside his home, Kenner Police confirmed in a statement. The arrest comes two days before the Saints' game against the host Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.
In an interview with WDSU, alleged victim Luis Cifuentes claimed he was building a house across the street from Thomas' home in Kenner, a New Orleans suburb, and had been having issues with the wide receiver for approximately two weeks. Thomas allegedly became upset and threatened the construction crew for parking across from his house, telling Cifuentes he would get "a brick or bullet" in his car.
