Seattle Seahawks cornerback Quinton Dunbar, after over 40 hours of being at-large, has turned himself in following an arrest warrant issued by the Miramar, FL. Police Department, where he is facing charges of armed robbery.
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.
