Breaking news: Detroit Lions CB Cameron Sutton was arrested…

The Detroit Lions released CB Cam Sutton after an alleged domestic violence incident.

The Detroit Lions released cornerback Cam Sutton on Thursday, one day after a warrant issued against Sutton in Florida for aggravated battery-domestic violence became public.

The Hillsborough County (Fla.) Sheriff’s Office made a request Wednesday in their search for Sutton, who is wanted for “domestic battery by strangulation,” according to the announcement.

Phil Martello, a representative for the sheriff’s office, told the Detroit Free Press—part of the USA TODAY Network—that the department responded to a complaint for domestic violence in progress between Sutton, 29, and a lady around 5 a.m. local time on March 7 in Lutz, Florida, a Tampa suburb.

The victim sustained wounds that indicated an event took place, Martello said, and an arrest warrant was issued the same day, citing the Free Press. Police say they are tracking Sutton, whom they suspect is in Florida.

“No one is above the law, and domestic violence has no place in our community,” a Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson stated in a statement to USA TODAY. “We implore Sutton to turn himself in.” USA TODAY has sought the full arrest warrant and incident report pertaining to the case.

Sutton played the first six seasons of his career with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He signed a three-year, $33 million deal prior to the 2023 season and started all 17 games for the Lions. A 2017 third-round draft pick, Sutton was due $10.5 million for 2024.
