PAINFUL REPORT: Detroit lions team has being band for the 2024 season due to….
After eluding the authorities for weeks, former Lions wide receiver Cameron Sutton surrenders.
Cameron Sutton has surrendered himself to authorities, putting an end to a weeks-long search for the former NFL defensive back who was wanted for a domestic violence warrant.
The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office announced that the 29-year-old Sutton arrived at a jail in Tampa, Florida, on Sunday night, nearly a week after his attorney informed authorities that he would turn himself in.
“After evading law enforcement for weeks, this individual has finally made the decision to surrender,” stated Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister. “Domestic violence is unacceptable in our community, and everyone is subject to the law here in Hillsborough County. My thoughts are with the victim as she continues to recover from this individual’s violent actions.”
Sutton was wanted for domestic battery by strangulation, classified as a third-degree felony with a potential prison sentence of up to five years.
The sheriff’s department had responded to a call regarding domestic violence involving Sutton and a female around 5 a.m. on March 7. Nearly two weeks ago, the sheriff’s office sought assistance in locating Sutton.
Shortly after, Lions President Rod Wood mentioned that Sutton was at the team’s training facility just outside of Detroit.
“We became aware of the warrant through social media, just like everyone else,” Wood told WJBK-TV Fox 2 last Monday. “We were able to speak to Cam because he was actually in our building. We found him. He was with our strength staff. He had unexpectedly shown up to work out.”
