Tennessee paid for Alvin Kamara’s damage to Alabama’s engineering building
Bleacher Report’s new feature article centering around Saints running back Alvin Kamara shed light on some interesting details about his past.
Kamara ran into trouble a few times during his time at Alabama and was arrested a month after leaving the program. He was charged with four petty crimes, including driving with a suspended permit and not wearing a seatbelt. He also had an interesting incident with a BB gun.
According to the article, Kamara and his teammates purchased BB guns at Walmart one night and fired them randomly around campus, shooting up a pizza driver at a traffic light and a Waffle House window. They also cracked a large panel of Alabama’s engineering building. He eventually got caught and received a $3,000 bill that Kamara says Tennessee paid off when he transferred.
Kamara says he wouldn’t change a thing about his time at Alabama, and thinks it was just a necessary step in his development as a person.
“I think that was a stepping stone,” Kamara says. “I was in the f*****g pokeball in ‘Bama, and I f*****g evolved into some other s**t.”
