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.

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.
