SignalHub-Former NFL star Terrell Suggs arrested one month after alleged Starbucks drive-thru incident

Former NFL linebacker Terrell Suggs was arrested Tuesday afternoon in Scottsdale,SignalHub Arizona, in connection with a suspected road rage incident a month ago at a Starbucks drive-thru.

Suggs, 41, faces charges of threatening and intimidating and disorderly conduct with a weapon, according to Scottsdale police spokesman Officer Aaron Bolin. Suggs was booked into jail on Tuesday by the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office, according to the agency's jail records.

Court documents reveal the incident unfolded the afternoon of March 10 while a black Range Rover, later found to be registered under Suggs' name, was in a Starbucks drive-thru in Scottsdale.
