Broward County prosecutors have declined to file charges against Seattle Seahawks cornerback Quinton Dunbar due to “insufficient evidence” for his alleged involvement in a May robbery in Florida, according to Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News.
However, New York Giants cornerback DeAndre Baker is facing four counts of robbery with a firearm. If convicted, the punishment for robbery with a firearm is a mandatory minimum of 10 years and up to life in state prison notes Leonard.
Both players were accused of allegedly robbing multiple people at gunpoint during a gathering.
Dunbar and Baker were placed on the NFL’s commissioner exempt list. Not being charge may lead to Dunbar being removed from the list. Yet, he may not avoid a suspension from the league for violating the personal conduct policy.
Dunbar’s attorney maintained his client’s innocence, citing witnesses saying Dunbar wasn’t present at the party. However, the attorney is under criminal investigation for allegedly being involved in victim pay-off.
Quinton Dunbar spent five seasons with the Washington Football Team after going undrafted as a wide receiver out of Florida. He was converted to cornerback by Washington’s staff where he blossomed and later became the team’s top cover corner.
Washington traded him to Seattle in March for a fifth-round pick. Dunbar had requested his trade after unsuccessful attempt to get a contract extension.
