The Hillsborough Sheriff’s Office has issued an alert seeking assistance in locating Detroit Lions cornerback Cameron Sutton, who is wanted on a domestic violence charge. The 29-year-old NFL player has a warrant for aggravated battery related to a domestic violence incident in Hillsborough County, Florida.
Sutton, who previously played six seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers before joining the Detroit Lions last year, is accused of aggravated battery in connection with a domestic violence case.

The team’s awareness of Sutton’s legal issue underscores the seriousness of the allegations and the potential impact on his career and reputation.
