The Cameron Sutton story continues to get crazier and crazier. The former Detroit Lions cornerback had recently had a warrant put out for his arrest after he allegedly committed battery by strangulation on March 7th. Since then, the Hillsbourgh County Sheriffs office in Tampa, Florida have been trying to find him.
The Lions found about Sutton like everyone else did last Wednesday. They found out when the sheriffs office took to social media to post about Sutton's warrant. Lions president Rod Wood said on Monday that the Lions were able to get in contact with Sutton and urged him to turn himself in.
Lions President Rod Wood said he was on a League call when he learned about the warrant for Cam Sutton's arrest. The team was able to reach Sutton and suggested he seek counsel and turn himself in. Wood and others met the rest of the day and chose to release him the next morning.

The next day they decided to release Sutton from the team. At this point, Sutton has not turned himself in yet and the Hillsbourgh County Sheriffs have not been able to locate him.
Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin also said he tried to reach out to the former Steeler at the league meetings Monday morning. When asked if he was able to make contact with him, Tomlin said "none of your business."
The story is ongoing and once we have some word that Sutton has been caught or turned himself in, we'll be sure to update Lions fans at that time. Until then, he's off the team and the Lions will move forward with their next idea.
