Ex-Detroit Lions Star Turns Himself in After Weeks on the Run
Former Detroit Lions cornerback Cameron Sutton surrendered to authorities in Florida on Sunday after a weekslong search for the ex-NFL player wanted over an allegation of domestic violence.
The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office announced that the 29-year-old had arrived at a jail in Tampa on Sunday night and been taken into custody “after he was wanted for Domestic Battery by Strangulation.” The sheriff’s office said Sutton finally turned himself in almost a week after his attorney told authorities that his client intended to do so.
“After weeks of evading law enforcement, this man has finally made the right choice to turn himself in,” Sheriff Chad Chronister said. “Domestic violence has no place in our community, and no one is above the law here in Hillsborough County. My thoughts are with this woman as she continues to heal from this man’s gruesome actions.”
