LAS VEGAS (AP) -A Las Vegas judge named new lawyers and set a new court date for two men accused of abducting, beating and robbing Oakland Raiders wide receiver Javon Walker last month.
Justice of the Peace Tony Abbatangelo on Tuesday combined the cases and scheduled a July 29 evidence and bail hearing for 40-year-old Deshawn L. Thomas and 30-year-old Arfat Fadel.
Each faces felony kidnapping, robbery and conspiracy charges.
Thomas was arrested July 8 and is being held on $1 million bail. Fadel was arrested June 20 and later charged in the Walker robbery. He’s being held on $73,000 bail.
Police say the 29-year-old wide receiver was found unconscious on a side street early June 16 after a night of Las Vegas club-hopping. He told investigators that about $3,000 in cash and $100,000 worth of jewelry were taken.
