Report: Ex-NFL star Terrell Suggs facing assault charge

Former NFL star Terrell Suggs was arrested on an assault charge Tuesday night in Arizona, TMZ Sports reported.

Suggs, 41, was booked into the Maricopa County jail on one count of assault and one count of offense against public order, a spokesperson for the Scottsdale Police Department told TMZ Sports. He was later released.

The charges reportedly are related to an incident on March 10, but no further details were available Wednesday morning.

Suggs, who played college football at Arizona State, was the NFL's Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2003 and the Defensive Player of the Year in 2011.

His Hall of Fame-caliber numbers include 139 sacks, 37 forced fumbles, 15 fumble recoveries, seven interceptions and 895 tackles across 244 games (226 starts) with the Baltimore Ravens (2003-18), Arizona Cardinals (2019) and Kansas City Chiefs (2019).

A seven-time Pro Bowl selection, Suggs was a first-round pick (10th overall) by Baltimore in 2003 and won Super Bowl championships with the Ravens (SB XLVII) and Chiefs (SB LIV).
