Super Bowl champ Terrell Suggs arrested after allegedly displaying gun in Starbucks drive-thru dispute
Two-time Super Bowl champion Terrell Suggs was arrested in Arizona Tuesday after police say he displayed a gun during a dispute at a Starbucks drive-thru last month.
Suggs, 41, was arrested and booked into the Maricopa County jail on two counts, including assault and offenses against public order after a March 10 incident at a Starbucks in Scottsdale, online jail records show.

According to The Associated Press, the veteran NFL player was in line to order coffee when he had to back up after driving past the ordering speaker. He backed into another vehicle. Despite no damage to either vehicle, Suggs and the other driver exited their vehicles and argued before returning and collecting their orders.
Suggs then allegedly made an obscene gesture at the other driver and threatened to kill him. He allegedly displayed a gun out the window – not at the man – and left.
Suggs released a statement through his management group, claiming the other man involved “escalated the situation.”

“I was in a quiet area of Scottsdale in the middle of the day in a Starbucks drive-thru near my home when an incident happened with a vehicle behind me. I was getting coffee. I was not looking for any trouble,” Suggs said in the statement, via ESPN.

“When the man in the other vehicle escalated the situation, I feared for my safety, not knowing what his intentions were. Throughout the incident, I was the one who felt in danger, while fearing I would be followed home and for the safety of my family nearby at my residence.”
Law enforcement identified Suggs through video surveillance. He was reportedly released early Wednesday morning. He is due back in court April 29.

A seven-time Pro Bowl selection who was the defensive rookie of the year in 2003 and the defensive player of the year in 2011, Suggs played for the Baltimore Ravens from 2003-18 after being selected 10th overall in the NFL draft out of Arizona State.
He also played for the Kansas City Chiefs, winning his second Super Bowl in 2020.

Jurors deliberating the fate of the man accused of starting the Palisades Fire, one of the most destructive wildfires in California’s history, failed to reach a verdict Thursday afternoon, telling the judge they were deadlocked.
A spokesperson from the United States Attorney’s Office told KTLA that jurors will continue to deliberate until they reach a verdict or give up.
Jonathan Rinderknecht, 30, a former Uber driver and one-time Pacific Palisades resident, is accused of starting the Lachman Fire on New Year’s Eve. The fire continued to smolder underground for about a week, even after Los Angeles firefighters believed it had been extinguished.
Flames reignited on Jan. 7, erupting into the deadly Palisades Fire that killed 12 people and destroyed thousands of homes in the upscale community, authorities said.

Prosecutors argued that Rinderknecht deliberately set the fire, claiming he had grown increasingly resentful of wealthy residents and viewed Pacific Palisades as a symbol of that frustration.
“Their case, though circumstantial, is strong,” KTLA legal analyst Alison Triessl said. “The defense is relying on, can they (prosecutors) show beyond a reasonable doubt that Mr. Rinderknecht actually started this fire and it wasn’t the result of fireworks or some intervening cause.”
The defense argued there is no direct physical evidence tying Rinderknecht to the fire and said the prosecution’s case relies entirely on circumstantial evidence. Rinderknecht did not testify during the trial.
Defense attorney Steve Haney spoke outside the courthouse Wednesday about why he believes it will be difficult for prosecutors to prove how the fire started.
“The lack of scene preservation. The fact that they got there after a lot of the evidence was missing. Not a lot of direct evidence. This is a circumstantial case, which is always difficult as a prosecutor to prove,” Haney said.
Rinderknecht, who was arrested and indicted last October, faces up to 45 years in prison if found guilty of three arson counts, including destruction of property by means of fire, arson affecting property used in interstate commerce and timber set afire.
