TMZ Sports reports the former Ravens linebacker has been arrested for assault.

On Tuesday night, former Baltimore Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs was arrested in Arizona.

According to Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office records, former Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs has been charged with one count of assault and one count of offense against public order.

Suggs, 41, played 16 years for the Ravens as one of the faces of the team before being inducted into their Ring of Honor in October 2023. He holds the franchise record for most sacks (132.5), tackles for loss (193), quarterback hits (191) and forced fumbles (33).

This is the third time Suggs has legally been accused of assault, with the previous two instances from Candace Williams, his future wife.

In 2009, Williams accused Suggs of domestic assault and filed a request for a protective order, before later rescinding the request. Three years later, she accused him once more of domestic violence in which he allegedly punched her in the neck and dragged her behind his car. Williams filed and received a temporary protective order granted by the Baltimore County Circuit Court, which ordered Suggs to turn over seven firearms.

A month later the two married and the Williams requested for the protective order to be removed. Williams filed for divorce in 2015.

According to a spokesperson for the jail to TMZ, Suggs has been released.
