Arrest warrant issued for Seahawks Quinton Dunbar in armed robbery case

Quinton Dunbar and Deandre Baker both have warrants issued for their arrest in Miramar, Florida stemming from an armed robbery.

Seattle Seahawks defensive back Quinton Dunbar and New York Giants cornerback Deandre Baker have been issued arrest warrants by the Miramar, FL. police department, stemming from an incident of armed robbery that is alleged to have occurred in the evening on Wednesday, May 13.

Dunbar is facing four charges of armed robbery with a firearm, while Baker is facing four charges of armed robbery as well as four charges of aggravated assault.

The events in question occurred at a party on Wednesday evening, where Baker and Dunbar were in attendance and playing cards and video games. A fight broke out and Baker took out a semi-automatic weapon, pointing it at party guests and insisting they give up their money and watches – which Dunbar assisted in collecting at Baker’s direction.

There are conflicting reports on whether or not Dunbar himself was carrying a weapon, but it is believed he was aiding in the crimes being committed, according to multiple witnesses.

Dunbar was acquired by the Seahawks for a fifth-round pick earlier in the offseason. He held a press conference with assembled Seattle media via Zoom on Thursday morning, just a few hours after the incident allegedly occurred, discussing how well he fits with the team’s defensive schemes and how excited he is to come to Seattle.

Now, his debut in the Emerald City likely will not happen in Week 1, as he could face a suspension from the league.

The Seahawks released a statement shortly after the story became public, simply saying they are aware of the situation and deferring further comment to league investigators.

This story is continuing to develop.

Florida arrest warrant issued for Antonio Brown

An arrest warrant has been issued in Florida for troubled free-agent wide receiver Antonio Brown.

A day after his trainer was arrested for an incident that saw numerous police cars at Antonio Brown’s home in Hollywood, (FL), an arrest warrant was issued Wednesday for the free-agent wide receiver, per a number of reports.

TMZ reports:

The arrest warrant warns officers that Brown has a concealed weapons permit “and is known to carry.”

“Brown had a firearm stolen out of Dade County in 2018. Officers should use caution when approaching Brown, as he is known for being confrontational when dealing with police.”

The entertainment/gossip site offers details on the original incident.

TMZ Sports has obtained court docs in the AB alleged assault case in which the moving truck driver describes why Brown and his trainer attacked him during a routine drop-off Tuesday at Brown’s Florida home.

The driver claims he was hired to deliver belongings AB had stored in California — but when he arrived and demanded his $4,000 payment, Brown refused to hand over the cash.

Brown pelted a rock at the truck driver before the alleged battery outside of his home Tuesday, per TMZ.

The documents show that Brown later forced his way into the driver’s side of the main cabin and began to physically strike the driver after a disagreement over payment escalated. He was then restrained by his associates.

Brown’s trainer, Glenn Holt, was arrested on a felony burglary with battery charge on Tuesday. He posted a $20,000 bond on Wednesday and was released from Broward County Jail.

Per Nola.com:

A law enforcement source said authorities originally sought a warrant for a misdemeanor sexual battery charge, but it was declined by a judge. The warrant was redrafted asserting a count of simple battery, and it was approved.

The difference between the crimes is not insignificant.

Louisiana law defines misdemeanor sexual battery as the intentional touching of the breasts or buttocks of a victim who did not consent to the contact. While it carries a maximum of six months in jail, it is relatively more serious than other misdemeanors because it is not expungeable in the event of a conviction.

Louisiana law defines simple battery more simply as “battery committed without the consent of the victim.” That crime, upon conviction, calls for up to six months in prison and a maximum fine of $1,000. It also expungeable for first-time offenders.
