According to NewsChannel 3 in Virginia, Hunter turned himself in to police in Virginia Beach, Vir. after an incident at Sandbar Raw Bar that occured July 3.

The Titans issued a statement on Hunter's arrest:

Hunter has been on thin ice with the team, failing to impress the coaching staff consistently and even earned an ultimatum from Titans head coach Ken Whisenhunt this offseason.

"At some point, you either get it or you won't be in this league anymore," Whisenhunt said, per The Tennessean. "That's the natural order of the NFL."
