Cam Sutton, the $33m ex-Detroit Lions star, FINALLY turns himself in to police after nearly a month on the run following arrest warrant for domestic battery by strangulation

Cameron Sutton, the former Detroit Lions player, handed himself into police on Sunday night after avoiding arrest for over three weeks on allegations of domestic battery by strangulation.

Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office released video of Sutton going into custody in handcuffs at Oreint Road Jail on Sunday night. Police had been looking for him since March 7.

‘After weeks of evading law enforcement, this man has finally made the right choice to turn himself in,’ sheriff Chad Chronister said. ‘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.’ 

The Lions signed Sutton, 29, last year on a three-year, $33million deal but cut him when news of his arrest warrant emerged. 

Lions president and CEO Rod Wood revealed last week that Sutton was at the team’s workout facility when the warrant for his arrest started circulating online.  

Wood said he did not speak with Sutton directly, but members of his staff did, advising him to turn himself into police. 

‘We learned about the warrant the same time everyone else did on social media. And we were able to speak with Cam because he was actually in our building,’ Wood said last Monday. 

‘We found him, he was down with our strength staff, kind of showed up unexpectedly to work out.

‘He left the building and we released him the next day and no one has spoken with him since.’

Sutton has played six seasons in the NFL and was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers before joining the Lions.
