Former Detroit Lions cornerback Cameron Sutton on Sunday surrendered to Florida authorities more than a week after officials said he was suspected in a domestic battery case.
The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office announced his surrender in a news release that included video of Sutton's appearance at the front desk of a Tampa-area jail facility.
The 29-year-old was released by the Lions on March 21, a day after the sheriff's office said he was wanted on an allegation of domestic battery by strangulation, a felony punishable by up to five years in prison.
The sheriff’s office shared March 20 that authorities were looking for Sutton in a “Warrant Wednesday” news release.
After the sheriff's office asked for the public's help finding Sutton, his lawyer, who wasn't identified, came forward March 25 to say Sutton would surrender, according to multiple statements from the agency.
