Terrell Suggs Caught On Video Holding Gun In Starbucks Drive Thru

The long-rumored video that led to Terrell Suggs’ arrest in 2024 has now surfaced, showing the former NFL star displaying a firearm during a heated confrontation at a Starbucks drive-thru in Scottsdale, Arizona. The incident took place on March 10, 2024, when Suggs allegedly backed into another vehicle while trying to get closer to the coffee shop intercom. The other driver confronted him, sparking a tense exchange.

In footage obtained by TMZ Sports, Suggs can be heard shouting “Back the f-ck up!” before both men got out of their cars. They eventually returned to their vehicles, but the argument continued. After picking up his order, Suggs reportedly made offensive gestures, hurled racial slurs, and threatened the other driver. Moments later, he reached into his car, pulled out a gun, and held it from his window before driving off.

Legal resolution and courtroom statement

The confrontation was reported to police, leading to Suggs’ arrest on April 9, 2024. Prosecutors initially charged him with threatening or intimidating and disorderly conduct, but under a February plea deal, the more serious charge was dropped. Suggs pleaded guilty to a lesser disorderly conduct charge and was sentenced to 18 months of supervised probation, with the possibility of reducing it to nine months if all conditions are met. Speaking in court, he described the altercation as “a momentary bad decision” and expressed a desire to move on after the case had weighed on him for a year.

A decorated football career

Suggs is one of the most accomplished defensive players in NFL history. Drafted 10th overall in 2003 out of Arizona State, he became a cornerstone of the Baltimore Ravens’ defense, amassing 139 career sacks over 17 seasons. He earned seven Pro Bowl selections, the 2011 NFL Defensive Player of the Year award, and two Super Bowl rings — first with Baltimore in 2013 and later with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2020. Known for his relentless pass rush and fiery personality, he retired as one of the league’s most feared defenders.

Recent Hall of Fame outcome and personal revelations

Earlier this year, Suggs advanced to the final round of 15 modern-era finalists in his first year of eligibility for the Pro Football Hall of Fame but did not make the Class of 2025. The inductees included Jared Allen, Antonio Gates, Eric Allen, and Sterling Sharpe. In a previous interview, Suggs revealed that his 2019 departure from the Ravens was influenced by his mother’s terminal illness, explaining that he chose to be with her during her final stages rather than return to Baltimore for another season. He reflected that while he had hoped to finish his career with the Ravens, family came first.
