Police make arrest in robbery, beating of Raiders receiver Walker

One man was arrested and a second was sought yesterday in the robbery and beating that left Oakland Raiders receiver Javon Walker unconscious on a side street after a long night of partying at Las Vegas nightclubs.

Police said Arfat Fadel, of Las Vegas, was accused of multiple felonies, including kidnapping, robbery, battery and conspiracy in the June 16 incident. Lt. Clinton Nichols said Walker lost about $3,000 in cash and $100,000 worth of jewelry, which has not been recovered.

"Mr. Walker was in town to have a good time, as many of our visitors to Las Vegas do," Nichols said. "As he will readily admit, he probably had a little too much to drink and he did not pick up on the clues that Mr. Fadel was someone he probably should not have been with."

Police released a booking photo of the 30-year-old Fadel and a black-and-white surveillance videotape image of the other alleged assailant who they said they believed was still in Las Vegas.

"The suspects knew who Mr. Walker was. He did not know who they were," Nichols said. "Whether they were part of his entourage or not remains to be seen."

Nichols said Walker got out of one vehicle he was riding in with friends and got into Fadel's black Range Rover with Fadel and the other man before he was assaulted and robbed.

"He willingly got in the vehicle on his own," Nichols said of the 6-3, 215-pound Walker. "We're unsure why."

Police said Walker was hospitalized for treatment of a concussion and significant facial injuries.

* Titans defensive end Jevon Kearse wouldn't talk about being charged with drunken driving, saying he is trying to concentrate on practice and stay positive. The former Eagle was stopped at 4:42 a.m. Sunday by Vanderbilt University police and failed a field sobriety test. *
