Saints investigating alleged Michael Thomas arrest
The New Orleans Saints are investigating an alleged incident regarding Michael Thomas.
On Friday evening, a person posted a message to Saints reporter Nick Underhill via the social media platform X.
The person’s post said that Thomas had just been arrested by the Kenner Police Department in Louisiana. The person said he thought Thomas may have “smashed a car window of a car blocking his driveway.”
Underhill used that information to question the Saints, who responded with a statement.
“We are aware of the incident and are gathering information,” the team said.
News station WDSU in Kenner reported that Thomas was seen being taken away by police. A man told WDSU that Thomas threw a brick at his truck.
Thomas has played in all 9 of the Saints’ games this season. He has 38 catches for 439 yards and a touchdown.
If the reports are accurate, Thomas would be the second Saints receiver to get in trouble with Kenner police in a matter of weeks.

According to John Hendrix of the Saints News Network, the New Orleans Saints are waiving WR Keith Kirkwood and are activating RB Adam Prentice from injured reserve. These moves were made on Saturday in advance of the team’s Week 10 game at the Minnesota Vikings.
Prentice, 26, is in his third season with the Saints. Used mostly as a situational blocking back, he has eight career rushing attempts and seven career receptions for a total of 49 yards. He’s had two touches for six yards from scrimmage in five games this year, including a costly fumble in a Week 4 loss to Tampa Bay.
Prentice has missed the last five games with a knee injury. In his absence, the Saints have used DT Khalen Saunders as a blocking back in goal-line situations.
