$70 million assault and battery lawsuit against Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs is dismissed

Lawsuit against Ravens LB Suggs dismissed

BALTIMORE — An attorney for Baltimore Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs says the mother of Suggs’ two children has withdrawn a $70 million lawsuit against him, and the two are trying to reconcile.

Lynn Hoffman, who represents Suggs, says Candace Williams voluntarily withdrew the lawsuit and filed a motion to rescind a protective order she had taken out against him last month. That motion was granted Thursday.

Hoffman says Suggs and Williams were “hugging outside of the courtroom.”

Williams had accused Suggs of striking her on two occasions, breaking her nose the first time and spilling bleach on her during the second altercation. Suggs denied any wrongdoing and was not charged with a crime.

The couple has a 2-year-old daughter and a 1-year-old son.
