Detroit Lions cornerback Cameron Sutton is wanted in Florida on a domestic violence charge, officials revealed on Wednesday.

The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office issued a warrant for Sutton’s arrest earlier this month on one count of domestic battery by strangulation for an incident in Lutz, Florida, which is a suburb of Tampa.

More details have since been uncovered.

A sheriff’s office spokesperson informed ESPN.com there was evidence of wounds on the woman’s body that were likely from the incident involving the Detroit Lions star CB.

“We became aware of the ongoing legal situation involving Cam Sutton this morning,” the Lions said in a statement. “We will continue to monitor the situation and will not have further comment at this time.”

Phil Martello, a spokesperson for the sheriff’s office, said the department responded to a call for domestic violence in progress involving Sutton and an unnamed woman on March 7th. Martello said an arrest warrant was issued the same day.

On Wednesday, the department posted a message on social media asking for help locating Sutton. The post says Sutton may be driving a Jeep Grand Wagoneer and provided the license plate number and that he is believed to be in Florida, not Michigan.

The Detroit Lions released a statement on the situation on Wednesday afternoon: “We became aware of the ongoing legal situation involving Cam Sutton this morning. We will continue to monitor the situation and will not have further comment at this time.”

Detroit Lions Cornerback Cameron Sutton Had a Solid 2023 Campaign

Detroit Lions cornerback Cameron Sutton has a warrant out for his arrest on a charge of aggravated battery-domestic violence that may affect his standing with his team.

Sutton signed a three-year, $33 million contract with the Lions as a free agent ahead of the 2023 season.

He rewarded the Detroit Lions immediately as the 29-year-old started all 17 games for them last season, posting one interception, six passes defended, one forced fumble, and 65 tackles for a team that went all the way to the NFC Championship game.
