An arrest warrant was issued for New York Giants cornerback DeAndre Baker on Thursday night after the former first-round pick allegedly robbed several partygoers the day prior.
Baker, who carried out the alleged heist with Seattle Seahawks cornerback Quinton Dunbar and a third party, has been charged with four counts of armed robbery with a firearm and four counts of aggravated assault.
The state of Florida carries a 10/20/life law, which means if convinced of armed robbery, Baker would face a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years in prison up to life. Additionally, if convicted of aggravated assault, Baker could face an additional five years in prison or five years probation with a $5,000 fine.
According to the Miramar Police Department’s application for an arrest warrant, Baker also instructed a third party to shoot one of the partygoers. That did not occur, but had it, Baker would be facing life in prison.
Police had attempted to contact Baker by phone, but an initial call was terminated and subsequent calls have gone unanswered.
Baker remains at large and the Giants have issued only a short comment.
“We are aware of the situation,” a Giants spokesperson said. “We have been in contact with DeAndre. We have no further comment at this time.”
The NFL also refused to comment.
“We are aware of the matter but will decline further comment at this time,” a NFL spokesperson told the New York Post.
