The Ravens woke up to concerning news Friday morning as one of the most decorated players in team history was in trouble with the law.
Terrell Suggs said via his official Twitter account that he was arrested for driving with a suspended license early Friday. According to TMZ, Suggs was arrested in Scottsdale, Ariz. and booked at 2:03 a.m. before being released on citation a little over an hour later. He was also cited for leaving the scene of an accident.
“This morning Terrell Suggs was involved in a single car collision. No one was injured,” Suggs’ publicist Denise White said in a statement. “Police were called and upon speaking with Terrell found his license to be suspended for speeding tickets. He was detained by the police and released a couple hours later. Terrell will let the judicial system take its course and fix his license issues.”
A Ravens spokesperson issued the following statement on Friday morning:
“Terrell made us aware of the situation and we’re looking into it.”
Suggs suffered a season-ending Achilles tendon tear in the 2015 opener on Sept. 13, his second Achilles injury in the last four years. The six-time Pro Bowl selection is under contract through 2018 and carries a $7.45 million salary cap figure for the coming season.
