Former NFL star Terrell Suggs was arrested and jailed Tuesday, according to Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office records. Suggs, who won the Super Bowl twice, faced charges of assault and public order offenses.
A police spokesperson, in a conversation with TMZconfirmed that Suggs has been released from the charges.
Court documents reveal that Terrell Suggs’ arrest stemmed from a dispute on March 10 at a Starbucks drive-thru. During the course of the incident, Suggs, who was behind the wheel of a black Range Rover, allegedly reversed into another vehicle.
Although there was no damage to the victim’s vehicle, both Suggs and the other motorist exited their vehicles and engaged in a verbal altercation.
Suggs and the other driver returned to their vehicles, and when Suggs exited the drive-thru, he made a rude gesture to the other driver and yelled obscenities at him, according to police reports.
“[Suggs] “then began to exit the drive-thru, but stopped briefly and then extended his left arm out the open driver’s window of his vehicle and displayed a black handgun in his left hand,” court documents obtained by The Phoenix Fox 10 read.
“The gun was never pointed at the victim and was simply displayed, which the victim believed [Suggs] “I was threatening him.”
Police identified Terrell Suggs as the driver of the Range Rover and subsequently arrested him.
According to Scottsdale Police: Suggs was arrested yesterday for the incident reported on 9/3/24. The spokesperson mentions specific charges of “threatening and intimidating” in addition to “disturbing public order with a weapon.”

Terrell Suggs’ arrest follows other run-ins with the law
In 2003, Suggs faced accusations of assaulting a man in a parking lot after a basketball tournament in Phoenix. He was subsequently acquitted of the charges.
Meanwhile, in 2016, authorities reported that Suggs left the scene of a single-vehicle collision in Scottsdale while driving a vehicle with a suspended license. Suggs informed police that he may have fallen asleep while he was driving.
