NFL Players DeAndre Baker and Quinton Dunbar Face Arrest on Armed Robbery Charges in Florida

Arrest warrants stemming from an armed robbery investigation have been issued for NFL cornerbacks DeAndre Baker and Quinton Dunbar in Miramar, Florida, the city’s police department announced Thursday.

Baker, a first-year NFL player for the New York Giants, has been charged with four counts of aggravated assault with a firearm and four counts of armed robbery with a firearm, Miramar police said. Dunbar, who plays for the Seattle Seahawks, has been charged with four counts of armed robbery with a firearm.

In the warrant, which has been posted online, police accuse Baker and Dunbar of robbing four unnamed individuals of money and a watch during a party held at a residence in the south Florida city late Wednesday night. Police say an argument broke out over a gambling session two days prior in which Baker and Dunbar lost around $70,000. As the argument escalated, both men brandished semiautomatic firearms and Baker specifically threatened at least one person with his gun, police say.
