BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- WJZ obtains new video of Ravens star linebacker Terrell Suggs getting arrested. The athlete ran into trouble in his home state of Arizona.
Rick Ritter with what the recording reveals.
Suggs went to high school in Arizona and played his college ball at Arizona State University.
Video obtained by WJZ shows him being extremely cooperative with police, but being arrested.
WJZ tracked down body cam video from Scottsdale police, showing Ravens star linebacker Terrell Suggs being arrested early Friday morning.
Police: "Go ahead and put your hands behind your back, OK?
Suggs: "Am I getting arrested?"
Police: "Yes you are."
It happened around 2 a.m. in Scottsdale. An arrest report states police received a call about a crash and followed a trail of liquid to a white BMW in a nearby parking lot dented with broken tail lamps.
That's where police found Suggs and began questioning him.
Police: "Just to be honest with me, what's going on?"
Suggs: "Nothing."
Police: "OK. So you have no clue why I'm here?"
Suggs: "Uh, yeah. The car right there."
Suggs stated he was driving when he got tired.
"Passed out. I mean, I was just being tired, you know. It hopped up and hit the curb, and I woke up and tried to spin out," he told police.
The officers became suspicious...
Police: "What'd you have to drink tonight?"
Suggs: "Absolutely nothing."
Police: "Nothing? OK. Any prescription medications?"
Suggs: "Absolutely nothing."
Police: "Any illegal drugs?"
Suggs: "Absolutely nothing."
Suggs became frustrated...
"If you ain't did your research, I am an athlete. We do kind of got a bad rep right now, but, you know, driving without a license still ain't good," he told police.
Officers conducted a DUI investigation on the Ravens linebacker--which was negative--but still arrested him for traffic violations.
Suggs: "What am I being arrested for?"
Police: "Right now, you're being arrested for three things, OK? One, a suspended driver's license and driving, two, for leaving the scene of a collision, and three, criminal damage for damaging the wall."
Suggs later took to Twitter and said:
MooD:.......

The Ravens and the NFL say they're both looking into the details of Suggs' arrest for any possible disciplinary measures.
Suggs has had prior off-field issues. In 2009, he was accused of domestic assault, but never charged. In 2012, he was ordered to surrender his licensed firearms after his fiancee filed a court order against him.
