Baltimore Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs was arrested Friday morning for driving with a suspended license and possibly leaving the scene of an accident.
The accident was a one-car crash that happened in a grocery store parking lot in Scottsdale, Arizona. Police were called about the crash at 1:20 a.m. and found a “fluid trail” that led to Suggs' car, which had damage. Suggs told police that he fell asleep behind the wheel before the crash and they determined that he wasn’t impaired.
He was cited for leaving the scene of an accident and driving with a suspended license, according to TMZ, which first reported the arrest. Suggs' license was suspended because of speeding tickets.
"This morning, Terrell Suggs was in a single-car collision. No one was injured," Suggs' rep said. "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."
Ravens spokesman Kevin Byrne said that the team is aware of the situation and that they are looking into it, ESPN notes.
Suggs missed the rest of the season last year after he tore his Achilles tendon in the season-opener and having surgery. He had 12 sacks and 39 tackles in 2014, according to Sports Illustrated. He is a six-time Pro Bowler and was the NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 2011.
Suggs was released from jail at 3:21 am. He is expected to be healthy by the start of the 2016 season.
