HENDERSON, Nevada – Las Vegas Raiders cornerback Kemah Siverand, who signed the team with a futures contract last month after spending the second half of the 2020 season on the training squad, was arrested Saturday in first hour after a racing incident in Houston, police announced Monday.
Officers stopped three of the five drivers and Siverand, 24, was one of three drivers arrested. According to the Houston Police Department, Siverand he was charged with a felony that evaded arrest after he “initially stopped for officers, then continued driving another mile before stopping.”
The Raiders did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Siverand, who was an unscrupulous rookie from the state of Oklahoma, was fired by the Seattle Seahawks in August after he was caught trying to sneak a woman into the team’s training camp hotel. She wore Seahawks gear in an effort to disguise herself as a player.
The Raiders signed Siverand to their training squad on Oct. 27 and a futures contract on Jan. 5.
