The Detroit Lions on Thursday launched veteran cornerback Cameron Sutton, who continues to be wished by police in Florida due to his alleged involvement in a home violence case.
Sutton is going through a cost of home battery by strangulation, a third-degree felony punishable by as much as 5 years in jail.
Phil Martello, a spokesperson for the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Workplace, informed ESPN on Thursday that authorities have continued to attempt to contact Sutton’s lawyer.
Police have been unable to find Sutton since March 7, when the arrest warrant was issued. Police had responded to a name early that morning at a home in Lutz, Florida, the place Sutton allegedly battered a lady earlier than fleeing the scene.
One other sheriff’s workplace spokesperson informed ESPN there was proof of wounds on the lady’s physique.
Sutton, 29, joined the Lions as an unrestricted free agent final summer time after spending his first six NFL seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He began all 17 video games for the Lions, registering 60 complete tackles, 6 passes defended and 1 interception.
