Former Tennessee Vols cornerback Cam Sutton turned himself in to authorities on Sunday in Tampa, FL after a weeks long search. 

A warrant was issued for Sutton last month for alleged domestic battery by strangulation according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office. 

"After weeks of evading law enforcement, this man (Sutton) has finally made the right choice to turn himself in," said Sheriff Chad Chronister. "Domestic violence has no place in our community, and no one is above the law here in Hillsborough County. My thoughts are with this woman as she continues to heal from this man’s gruesome actions.”

Sutton, who signed a three year deal worth $33 million with the Detroit Lions ahead of the 2023 season, was released by the Lions shortly after the warrant was issued for his arrest. 

The former Vol evaded authorities for nearly a month before turning himself in (the incident occurred on March 7). 

Domestic battery by strangulation is a third-degree felony that's punishable by up to five years in prison.
