Sutton signed with the Lions in 2023 and was entering his second season with the team after being drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers. 

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