Ex-ASU, NFL pass rusher Terrell Suggs sentenced to probation for disorderly conduct

Former Arizona State and NFL pass rusher Terrell Suggs was sentenced to 18 months of probation for disorderly conduct on Tuesday following his arrest in Scottsdale a year prior.

Suggs must also complete 100 hours of community service and attend anger management, among other requirements. He cannot consume alcohol while on probation.

There is a chance he can get his sentence reduced to nine months if he meets the proper requirements. He could also face up to two years in prison if he violates any of the terms of his probation.

“I’m just ready to get on with my life,” Suggs told the judge. “This has been hanging over me for a year. It was a momentary bad decision.”

The decision comes after Suggs pleaded guilty to a reduced disorderly conduct charge after a March 2024 incident at a Starbucks drive-thru in Scottsdale.

According to the Scottsdale Police Department, Suggs made contact with the victim’s vehicle in the drive-thru lane. A verbal confrontation ensued between the two.

“I’ll kill your (expletive) ass,” Suggs said, according to police.

The police report of the incident noted that Suggs flashed a handgun out of an open window of his vehicle.

A dash camera from the victim’s car captured the confrontation.

The former linebacker was arrested a month later with one count of threatening and intimidating and another for disorderly conduct with a weapon before being released.

In February, he agreed to a guilty plea deal on the disorderly conduct in exchange for the dismissal of the other charge.

Terrell Suggs’ playing career in Arizona

A Hamilton High School alum, Suggs went on to play college ball for the Sun Devils.

He spent three years in the maroon and gold before landing with the Baltimore Ravens in the first round (No. 10 overall) of the 2003 NFL Draft.

Suggs became a mainstay in Baltimore, appearing in 229 games across 16 seasons.

He spent 13 games with the Arizona Cardinals in 2019 before latching onto the Kansas City Chiefs and their run to the Super Bowl.
