Los Angeles (CNN) -- Former NFL star Darren Sharper, wanted in New Orleans in connection with the alleged rapes of two women, has turned himself in to Los Angeles authorities. A source told CNN that Sharper made arrangements to surrender to Los Angeles police and did so without incident Thursday evening. Los Angeles police confirmed the arrest but did not provide details. Earlier Thursday, the Orleans Parish district attorney's office in Louisiana had said Sharper, 38, and Erik Nunez, 26, each face two counts of aggravated rape. If convicted, the two men face a possible sentence of life in prison without parole.
