He arrived at the Orient Road Jail Sunday around 8:30 p.m., HCSO said.

Sutton signed a three-year, $33 million free-agent contract with the Lions last season. The team released him March 18 after the warrant was issued for his arrest, according to NFL.com.

"After weeks of evading law enforcement, this man has finally made the right choice to turn himself in," Sheriff Chad Chronister said. "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.”
