Former Detroit Lions cornerback Cameron Sutton is wanted by police after a warrant was issued for his arrest, and another crazy detail about the situation has emerged.
The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office in Florida announced that Sutton has a warrant out for a charge of domestic battery by strangulation. Police asked for the public’s help in locating the 29-year-old. It was later revealed that the warrant was issued on March 7 and authorities have been unable to locate Sutton.
On Monday, Lions president Rod Wood told Dan Miller of Fox 2 Detroit that Sutton was working out at the team’s facility last Wednesday when police put out a statement about the warrant. Wood said members of the Lions organization advised Sutton to seek legal counsel and turn himself in, but Sutton left the facility and that was the last the team heard from him.
“We learned about the warrant the same time everybody else did on social media. We were able to speak to Cam because he was actually in our building,” Wood said. “We found him, he was down with our strength staff. He kind of showed up unexpectedly to work out. We were able to talk to him, personally not me but other members of the staff. He left the building and we released him the next day and no one has spoken to him since.”
