PHOENIX (AZFamily) — Former Arizona State University football player and NFL Pro Bowler Terrell Suggs won’t be going to jail for pulling a gun during an argument at a north Scottsdale Starbucks last year.
He was sentenced to 18 months of supervised probation plus 100 hours of community service on Tuesday. The punishment was part of a plea deal.
On March 10, 2024, Suggs got into a verbal fight with another man about whether he had backed into the man’s car while in a Starbucks drive-thru at Hayden Road and Thompson Peak Parkway.
During the fight, they both yelled expletives at each other and Suggs told the man, “You wanna go? I’ll kill your b**ch a**,” according to court documents. Suggs then flashed his gun but didn’t point it at the victim.
On Feb. 20, he pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct, so the prosecution dropped the threatening charge. The charge will be a felony until probation and other requirements are completed and then it’ll drop to a misdemeanor.
The 42-year-old played three years at ASU, where he was First-Team All Pac-10 in 2001 and 2002 and was the conference’s Defensive Player of the Year in 2002. He won the Bronko Nagurski Award, the Ted Hendricks Award, and the Vince Lombardi Award.
He played 15 years for the Baltimore Ravens, where he was picked for the Pro Bowl seven times. He was also named the 2011 NFL Defensive Player of the Year
Suggs is a two-time Super Bowl champion, having won Super Bowl XLVII in 2012 with the Baltimore Ravens and again in 2019 with the Kansas City Chiefs.
He played 13 games for the Arizona Cardinals in 2019 before going to the Chiefs. Suggs was eligible for the NFL Hall of Fame this year and he reached the 15-player finalist list but didn’t get in.
