Former OSU coach Sean Sutton arrested on drug complaints

Sutton told drug agents that he is addicted to painkillers, Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics spokesman Mark Woodward said.

OBN detained Sutton, 41, about 5 p.m. Thursday after the former coach picked up a shipment of painkillers from out of state from a local shipping company, Woodward said.

Drug agents had intercepted the shipment following a tip that Sutton had been illegally buying painkillers from sellers in Seattle and the New York City borough of Brooklyn.

Payne County District Attorney Robert Hudson said he is going to file four felony counts against Sutton for the drugs he attempted to obtain and for using his cell phone to commit a felony

Sutton remains in the Stillwater city jail, where he has become ill, Hudson said.
