The Detroit Lions have cut ties with defensive back Cameron Sutton amid an investigation into domestic violence allegations in Florida, marking a significant turn in both the player’s career and the team’s stance on player conduct.
The Detroit Lions have terminated their contract with defensive back Cameron Sutton amid ongoing investigations into allegations of domestic violence in Florida. The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office is actively seeking Sutton, 29, to serve a domestic violence warrant related to accusations of domestic battery by strangulation, classified as a third-degree felony. This charge originates from an incident on March 7, involving Sutton and a female companion, and carries a possible sentence of up to five years in prison.
Sutton, who has had a seven-year professional football career and played a notable role in the Lions’ recent division title and playoff journey, reportedly owns a property in Dunedin, Florida. There is speculation that he might be avoiding law enforcement by leaving the Tampa area, where the alleged incident took place. The circumstances leading to his release and the impact on his professional future in the NFL are being closely watched by both the league and its followers.
Authorities and the Detroit Lions have not provided extensive details about the warrant or the exact reasons behind Sutton’s release, as the situation is still unfolding.
