Baltimore Ravens outside linebacker Terrell Suggs was arrested earlier Friday morning in Scottsdale, Arizona. Suggs was said to have been booked at 2:03 a.m. and released at 3:21 a.m. The OLB was cited for leaving the scene of an accident and for driving with a suspended license.
"Terrell made us aware of the situation and we are looking into it," Ravens senior vice president of public and community relations Kevin Byrne said in a statement.
Police responded to a call of the sound of an accident. Following a fluid trail, they come upon Suggs' freshly damaged BMW in a parking lot. After talking with him, officers determined that he was not impaired, but they did detain him for driving with a suspended license.
"This morning, Terrell Suggs was in a single-car collision. No one was injured," a representative for Suggs 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."
Suggs referenced the incident on his Twitter and Instagram pages Friday morning:

The 33-year-old pass-rusher missed almost all of the 2015 season after suffering a torn Achilles in the season opener against the Denver Broncos. Baltimore expects him to return to the field for the upcoming 2016 season. Suggs has been named to six Pro Bowls in his career and has accrued 106.5 sacks in 181 games. He signed a four-year, $28.5 million contract extension with the Ravens in 2014.
