The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office reports that former NFL linebacker Terrell Suggs was taken into custody for assault late on Tuesday night in Arizona.
Based on court documents, Suggs, 41, was charged with one count of assault and one count of offenses against public order.
For an incident that was reported on March 10, Suggs was taken into custody on Tuesday, the Scottsdale Police Department informed The Post.
A representative for the MCSO jail informed TMZ that Suggs has since been freed.
TMZ Sports has learned Terrell Suggs’ arrest on Tuesday stemmed from a March incident in which he allegedly brandished a gun and threatened to kill a man during an argument at a Scottsdale, Arizona Starbucks.
In the docs, officials say Suggs had driven past the ordering speaker … and when he put his Range Rover in reverse to remedy the situation, he made contact with another man’s vehicle.
Although there was apparently no damage to the car, cops say both drivers exited their vehicles and an argument ensued, but the two eventually returned to their rides and made their orders.
However, as Suggs was about to leave the area … he allegedly flipped off the man — which authorities say kicked off another verbal argument.
According to the docs, the man swore at Suggs, before the ex-NFL superstar challenged him to a fight. The former Baltimore Ravens pass rusher allegedly then called the man a “p***y ass cracker,” before adding, “I’ll kill your bitch ass.”
At this point Suggs showed the man a handgun and that cause the man to call police. Suggs says he thought his life was in danger and was not the agreessor in the incident.
