Cameron Sutton, a Former Lions Player, Turned Himself in Weeks After a Domestic Violence Warrant

Cameron Sutton surrendered to authorities weeks after receiving a domestic violence arrest warrant.

The former Detroit Lions and Pittsburgh Steelers player, 29, surrendered to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office in Tampa, Florida, on Sunday night. The arrest follows “weeks of evading law enforcement” on a domestic battery by strangulation accusation, according to the police.

The office announced Sutton’s arrest on Monday by posting video of the footballer being held by police on X (previously known as Twitter).

Sheriff Chad Chronister issued the following statement:

“After weeks of evading law enforcement, this man has finally made the right choice to turn himself in,” “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.”

According to ESPN, Sutton was wanted on a charge of domestic battery by strangulation after police attended to a Lutz, Florida, residence on March 7 and allegedly beat a woman before fleeing.

The sheriff’s office told the publication that the woman was injured when officers arrived. “He’s been ducking us,” a sheriff’s spokesperson told MLive after the warrant was issued.
