2 NFL players released from Broward jail

New York Giants cornerback DeAndre Baker and Seattle Seahawks cornerback Quinton Dunbar were released from the Broward Main Jail on Sunday night.

The two were granted bail Sunday morning after turning themselves in Saturday on charges related to an alleged armed robbery in Miramar last week.

Baker’s bond was set at $200,000 in a court appearance in Broward County on Sunday morning; Dunbar’s bond was set at $250,000. Both must turn in any firearms to police within 48 hours, and Baker must also give police his concealed weapons license. They are also not allowed to contact any of the alleged victims.

“Bond granted,” Baker’s attorney Bradford Cohen wrote in a Sunday morning Instagram post. “Typically in these cases defendants are held no bond, the judge however took into account everything including affidavits and released both Baker and Dunbar.”

Both men turned themselves in to authorities Saturday, after police said they were wanted in connection with an alleged armed robbery that occurred at a party in Miramar last Wednesday.

Miramar Police issued warrants for the men’s arrests after they allegedly threatened people with a handgun, according to a police report. The pair had allegedly been gambling at a party days before and lost $70,000, the report says.

At the Miramar party Wednesday, the pair allegedly stole thousands of dollars in cash and luxurybrand watches from the victims, the report said. Baker, 22, was allegedly armed with a semi-automatic firearm during the incident and faces four counts of armed robbery and aggravated assault with a firearm. Dunbar, 27, also faces four counts of armed robbery with a firearm.

“Police reports are just that, reports of what was told to them or said to them,” said Cohen in the post. Dunbar’s attorney, Michael Grieco, said he has five signed affidavits from witnesses that exonerate his client of the armed robbery.

Grieco told The Associated Press on Friday that the five witnesses attested that Dunbar was not involved in the robbery. Grieco said the affidavits were presented to prosecutors in Broward County.
