According to CBS Sports, the 41-year-old former all-star pass rusher has been charged with assault and offense against public order. According to the website, Suggs appeared in court on Wednesday, and a judge issued an order for his supervised release.
“I was in a Starbucks drive-thru near my home in a quiet area of Scottsdale in the middle of the day when an incident with a vehicle behind me happened,” Suggs told TMZ. “I wasn’t looking for trouble; I was just getting coffee.” I was afraid for my safety as I had no idea why the man in the other car escalated the issue. I was the one who felt threatened during the whole thing, worried about being followed home, and concerned about my family’s safety close by at my house.
