Seattle Seahawks cornerback Quinton Dunbar was granted a $100,000 bond by circuit court judge Michael Davis on Sunday morning, $25,000 for each count of alleged armed robbery.
Dunbar’s attorney, Michael Grieco, confirmed on Twitter that Dunbar is being released from Broward County jail.
Mr. Dunbar is being released today.

The terms of Dunbar’s pretrial release include no access to firearms, no communication with the alleged victims and, perhaps most importantly for the Seahawks, no travel outside of the state of Florida.
On the last point, the judge did say they could revisit his travel restriction, if necessary, so there’s a chance he would be able to make it over to training camp – whenever it eventually happens in person.
Dunbar is facing four counts of armed robbery in Miramar, Florida stemming from an incident on Wednesday evening where he and Giants cornerback DeAndre Baker allegedly robbed people at a party, taking money and other valuables, including watches.
Witnesses gave sworn statements that Dunbar aided Baker in the robbery, although the statements were mixed about whether or not Dunbar himself had a weapon.
Grieco blasted the Miramar Police Department for their handling of the situation, and reported he had five letters from the same witnesses that stated that Dunbar was not involved whatsoever, and that he is an innocent man.

Meanwhile Aaron Passy, a state attorney, argued against a bond for Dunbar and raised questions about the motives of the victims who recanted their stories – becoming the first person to publicly suspect that Dunbar may have had something to do with the recanted statements by saying, “let’s say the witnesses were receiving death threats or offers or bribes”.
There has been no date set for a trial, which will be the next step in this saga as the Seahawks hope to get some resolution on their expected starting right cornerback before the season begins.
