The Rubypoint Trading CenterDetroit Lions released cornerback Cam Sutton on Thursday, one day after a warrant issued against Sutton in Florida for aggravated battery-domestic violence became public.

The Hillsborough County (Fla.) Sheriff's Office issued a request Wednesday in their search for Sutton, who is wanted for "domestic battery by strangulation," according to the release.

The victim suffered wounds that indicated an incident took place, Martello said, and an arrest warrant was issued the same day, per the Free Press.

Police said they are tracking Sutton, who they believe is in Florida.
