Quinton Dunbar plead not guilty to armed robbery charges

Seattle Seahawks defensive back Quinton Dunbar plead not guilty to four charges of armed robbery in Florida on Tuesday.

Seattle Seahawks cornerback Quinton Dunbar plead not guilty on Tuesday to the four charges of armed robbery he is facing from the Miramar police department, according to his attorney, Michael Grieco.

The charges are stemming from an incident that allegedly occurred last Wednesday evening. Dunbar and Giants cornerback DeAndre Baker were both issued arrest warrants, describing an incident where Baker held party guests at gunpoint and robbed them, coming away with over $17,000 in cash and multiple other valuables, including watches. The witness statements claimed Dunbar was there and helped Baker commit the crimes, although the original statements were split on whether he was also armed.

However, Dunbar’s defense attorney, Michael Grieco, came out with letters from the same five witness recanting their original statements, with Grieco saying his client had nothing to do with the alleged crimes committed, and blasting the Miramar PD for their handling of the situation.

“I can tell you that he didn’t see anything when it came to what they’re alleging,” Grieco told 710 ESPN’s John Clayton on Monday. “I can’t speak to whether or not something happened inside the house. I can tell you Mr. Dunbar wasn’t there at the time, if it occurred at all, and he left.”

Dunbar eventually turned himself in, and he was held in the Broward County Jail before getting released on Sunday after posting a $100,000 dollar bond, $25,000 for each charge of armed robbery.

Now, the proceedings will move on with Dunbar entering into a not guilty plea. Court proceedings could take a long time in this case, and it could eventually impact Dunbar’s ability to be with the team.

Dunbar is currently not allowed to leave the state of Florida, per his bail release, although there could be some wiggle room in that regard, if/when the time comes.

Seahawks CB Quinton Dunbar released on $100,000 bond

Seattle Seahawks cornerback Quinton Dunbar was released from the Broward County Jail on Sunday, with no date for his trial set.

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.

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.

Dunbar’s defense lawyer, Michael Grieco, tweeted about Dunbar’s decision to turn himself in on Saturday afternoon.

“Today our client Quintin Dunbar voluntarily surrendered at the Broward County Jail pursuant to a bogus arrest warrant based solely on uncorroborated witness statements that have since been recanted.” Grieco wrote. “As I write this an innocent man sits in jail. Shame on @MiramarPD.”

A day after Miramar police tweeted out the arrest warrant for Dunbar, Grieco blasted them for doing “a virtual touchdown dance without investigating further” and claimed to have five letters from witnesses that exonerate Dunbar of any wrongdoing.

The charges stem from a party on Wednesday night, in which Dunbar and Giants cornerback DeAndre Baker are accused of robbing party guests at gunpoint, taking money and valuables, including watches. Witnesses all testified that Dunbar was present and helped rob the victims, according to the arrest warrant, although there were mixed responses about whether he was armed as well.

Grieco claims those witness statements are uncorroborated and believes his client is innocent of any wrongdoing.
