The arrest was in connection to an altercation that took place at a Starbucks drive-thru on March 10. Court documents reveal that Suggs backed up his car after passing the drive-thru speaker and made contact with another vehicle, sparking a heated argument.

According to witnesses, the encounter escalated with Suggs allegedly threatening the other man, saying he would kill him, while displaying a handgun through the car window. However, it is important to note that the gun was never pointed directly at the individual. Despite this, the man felt threatened and promptly filed a police report.

Suggs, who appeared at a brief hearing after his arrest, was subsequently released. He now faces one felony count of disorderly conduct involving weapons and one misdemeanor count of threatening or intimidating.

In response to the incident, Suggs released a statement through TMZ, expressing his perspective on the matter. According to him, he was in a quiet area of Scottsdale, near his home, trying to enjoy a peaceful coffee break. Suggs claimed that the situation escalated due to the actions of the man in the other vehicle, leading him to fear for his own safety and that of his family residing nearby.

The former Ravens star maintained that he had no intentions of causing any trouble and believed that he was the one in danger throughout the incident. He expressed concerns about being followed home and the potential threat it posed to his family's security.

The case now awaits further legal proceedings, as the charges against Suggs remain pending. The altercation, which unfolded at a Starbucks drive-thru, has brought attention to the former NFL player's unexpected encounter and subsequent arrest. As the case develops, more details are expected to emerge regarding the events that transpired that day.
