Raiders CB Kemah Siverand arrested in Houston street racing incident

Las Vegas Raiders cornerback Kemah Siverand was arrested in Houston over the weekend in a street racing incident.

Houston police chief Art Acevedo told the media on Monday that Siverand was one of three people arrested in connection to the illegal racing, which took place after midnight on Saturday.

Siverand, 24, first stopped for the officers, but then drove on for an additional mile before finally stopping. That's presumably why Siverand was charged with felony evading arrest, while the other two drivers were charged with racing on a highway. Five cars were involved in the racing, but police were only able to catch up with three.

Siverand tried to sneak a woman into team hotel

In the span of less than a year, Siverand has made some unique headlines. You don't hear about street racing arrests in the NFL very often, but Siverand's first brush with "fame" was even wilder.

Siverand was cut by the Seattle Seahawks in August after he was caught on video trying to sneak a woman dressed in Seahawks gear into the team hotel. Due to COVID-19 health and safety protocols, hotel visitors were strictly regulated. Siverand was trying to get around the rules by camouflaging the woman in Seahawks gear, which — shocker! — didn't work.

Siverand apologized for the incident several weeks later.

Siverand, a rookie out of Oklahoma State, remained on the job market until late October when the Raiders signed him to a practice squad deal.
