As the NFL continues its investigation into Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker, it will mark an important difference between the legal system and the league’s internal investigations. While Tucker fits the former, Ravens fans have had to keep up with the latter, too.
Former Baltimore edge rusher Terrell Suggs and his fans have been waiting on news regarding his two charges from a 2024 incident from a Starbucks drive-thru. In 2024, Suggs was charged with threatening or intimidating and disorderly conduct.
On Tuesday, the Ravens legend was sentenced to 18 months of probation for his Starbucks disorderly conduct.
According to TMZ, Suggs pled guilty to disorderly conduct in a deal to cancel out the other charge.
“The judge in the case ordered Suggs to 18 months of supervised probation -- but told the ex-Baltimore Ravens pass rusher he ‘can get off in half that time ... if you've done everything you're supposed to,’” TMZ reported.
“Some of the requirements Suggs must meet, the judge said at the hearing, include 100 hours of community service, anger management counseling and no consumption of alcohol. He also must get permission prior to leaving the state.”
The police from the case alleged that Suggs had lightly backed into a car in the Starbucks drive-thru, which prompted an argument before the former Pro Bowler flipped him off, and after a handful of hostile comments, flashed – but did not point – his gun out the window.
"This has been hanging on with me for a year," he said, calling the incident "a momentary bad decision."
In 2003, Suggs was charged and ultimately acquitted of assaulting a man after a basketball tournament. Years later, in 2009, his then-girlfriend Candance Williams accused him of striking her in the chest. In 2012, Williams married Suggs just months after a protective order was issued against him after additional allegations.
“Terrell has always been a law abiding citizen, has no prior convictions and unfortunately overreacted and displayed his handgun while pointing to the ground as he drove away in order to deter the alleged victim, who had been aggressive through the incident, from following him home,” his attorney Craig Penrod wrote via the Baltimore Banner.
Suggs was a finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2025, but was not inducted.
