Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs was arrested early Friday in Arizona and charged with driving on a suspended license and leaving the scene of an accident, according to the Scottsdale Police Department.

Suggs, 33, was arrested after police responded to a call about a one-car crash and found the player's BMW 750Li in a nearby parking lot with “fresh damage,” police said.

According to police, an investigation revealed that Suggs was not impaired. He told officers he “possibly fell asleep” before the crash. Suggs was arrested at 2:03 a.m., taken to the Scottsdale City Jail for processing and released.

Charges of driving on a suspended license and leaving the scene of an accident can involve jail time in Arizona but usually draw fines, a police spokesman said. Suggs confirmed his arrest on social media Friday morning and said, “My bad,” and called himself “dumb.”

“Terrell will let the judicial system take its course and fix his license issues,” said Suggs' publicist, Denise White, who said the linebacker's license was suspended because of speeding tickets.

Ravens senior vice president of public and community relations Kevin Byrne said Suggs informed team officials of his arrest and the organization is “looking into it.” Suggs' arrest is believed to be the first by a Ravens player since running back Bernard Pierce was arrested last March in Baltimore and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol. He was subsequently released by the Ravens.

An NFL spokesman said the league will review Suggs' arrest. “We review the record of any arrest of NFL personnel to make sure we understand the facts,” the spokesman said.

According to Scottsdale police, a call was received at 1:20 a.m. about the “sound of a collision.” Officers found evidence of a crash in the median and followed a fluid trail that led to a grocery store parking lot, where they found Suggs' damaged BMW.

Police said they approached Suggs as he was getting into a friend's car in the parking lot and determined that he was driving with a suspended license.

According to the police report, Suggs suffered a 2-inch abrasion on the top of his head in the accident. Suggs told police the injury occurred when he struck the curb and his head hit the roof of the BMW. He declined medical attention.

The longtime Raven went to Arizona State and spends most of the offseason in the Phoenix area. Online court records show that Suggs had a traffic complaint filed against him Feb. 25, but details were not available.

Suggs has been in trouble before. In December 2009, Candace Williams, Suggs' girlfriend (they eventually married but separated last year), alleged in a request for a protective order that he hit her in the chest and held a bottle of bleach over her and their 1-year-old son. After the couple reconciled, she asked that the order be rescinded. Suggs was never charged. In December 2012, he was ordered to turn over several licensed firearms after Williams was granted a temporary protective order after she accused him of punching her and dragging her with his car as he drove away with their two children. The couple married less than a month later.

A first-round draft pick in 2003, Suggs is the team's longest-tenured player. The six-time Pro Bowl selection and 2011 NFL Defensive Player of the Year is the franchise's all-time leader in sacks and forced fumbles, and is second in tackles behind Ray Lewis.

Suggs missed almost the entire 2015 season after he tore his Achilles tendon in the regular-season opener against the Denver Broncos. It was the second time in four years he tore an Achilles.

After the injury, Suggs stayed away from the team and did not speak regularly with members of the organization, prompting speculation about his future. However, general manager Ozzie Newsome said last week at the NFL scouting combine that he expects Suggs to be ready for the start of the season.

“I talked to him last week,” Newsome said. “He's doing well.”
