Despite evading police for weeks, Sutton was reportedly released from prison on his own recognizance just 24 hours after turning himself in and only charged with a single misdemeanor.
Sutton’s attorney Todd Foster released this statement:
“Both Mr. Sutton and the mother of his children request privacy in this matter, as they view this as a family matter.””
Wild details surrounding Sutton’s arrest warrant emerged on March 26 following Sutton’s release by the Lions on March 21.
