As per reports from the Baltimore Banner, Baltimore Ravens legend Terrell Suggs pleaded guilty to a reduced disorderly conduct charge from last year. Suggs was accused of flashing his gun during a drive-thru confrontation from last year

As part of his plea deal, Suggs, 42, must fulfill 100 hours of community service, undergo anger management counseling, and serve a probationary period. In exchange, prosecutors agreed to drop the charge of threatening or intimidating. His sentencing is set for April.

The charges originate from a March 10 incident in Scottsdale, Arizona. According to a police report, Suggs pulled too far forward at a Starbucks drive-thru, then reversed and collided with the vehicle behind him. A heated verbal exchange ensued between Suggs and the other driver, during which Suggs made an obscene gesture and exchanged profanities.

The confrontation escalated when Suggs allegedly called the man a “p* a** cracker” and threatened, “I’ll kill your b* a**,” while brandishing a gun from his driver-side window. A month later, officers arrested Suggs during a traffic stop, discovering that he still had the firearm in his car.

In April, the court will determine the consequences of Suggs’ actions. It remains to be seen whether he will receive a lenient sentence or face more severe repercussions for the incident.

The camaraderie is not new for Terrell Suggs. According to police reports, Suggs was previously arrested in 2016 for driving with a suspended license. In that incident, he was allegedly involved in a car accident and left the scene before authorities arrived. Law enforcement later apprehended him, and he was taken into custody at Scottsdale City Jail. Following standard procedures, he was subsequently released.

Terrell Suggs has spent seventeen years in the league – playing for the Baltimore Ravens from 2003 to 2018. He joined the Arizona Cardinals in 2019 and jumped ship to Kansas City Chiefs where he won his second Super Bowl. He finished his career with 886 tackles and 139 sacks, winning DROY and DPOY in 2003 and 2011 respectively. Furthermore, he was voted unanimous All-American while playing for the Arizona Sun Devils.
