Former NFL player Cameron Sutton, 29, turned himself in to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office in Tampa, Florida, following weeks of evading arrest on domestic violence charges. The arrest warrant stemmed from an alleged assault on a woman on March 7. Sutton, formerly of the Detroit Lions and Pittsburgh Steelers, was wanted on charges of domestic battery by strangulation. The sheriff's office confirmed the woman sustained injuries during the incident.
The Detroit Lions organization acknowledged Sutton's legal situation on March 20 but refrained from further comment. Sheriff Chad Chronister emphasized the seriousness of domestic violence, stating, "No one is above the law."
