The cornerback is facing a charge of domestic battery by strangulation, a 3rd-degree felony punishable that can put him in prison for up to 5 years.
The police in Florida shared today that the authorities are still trying to speak with the player’s lawyer.
Police have been unable to find Sutton since March 7th, when the arrest warrant was issued. Authorities visited an address that day in Lutz, Florida, where Cameron allegedly battered a woman before leaving before the police arrived.
Cameron became a Detroit player as an unrestricted free agent in the past offseason after playing in his 1st 6 National Football League campaigns with the Steelers. Sutton started all 17 matches for the team, finishing with 60 total tackles, 6 passes defended, and a pick.
