Pair flee party in luxury cars after fight, alleged armed robbery
PACKED VENUES IN PANDEMIC ARE ONLY FOR DUMMIES
POLICE in South Florida are trying to find New York Giants cornerback Deandre Baker and Seattle Seahawks cornerback Quinton Dunbar after witnesses accused them of an armed robbery at a party.
Miramar police issued arrest warrants for both men yesterday on four counts each of armed robbery with a firearm. Baker faces an additional four counts of aggravated assault with a firearm. The residential community is between Fort Lauderdale and Miami.
Baker, 22, and Dunbar, 27, were attending a barbecue at a Miramar home on Wednesday night when a fight broke out, and Baker pulled out a handgun, according to the warrant.
Baker, Dunbar and two other men began robbing other people at the party of thousands of dollars in cash, watches and other valuables, witnesses told investigators.
Police said the four men then fled the home in three vehicles: a Mercedes Benz, a Lamborghini and a BMW. Witnesses said the vehicles were parked in a way that would make it easy to leave quickly, leading detectives to believe the robbery was planned. No injuries were reported.
“We are aware of the situation. We have been in contact with Deandre,” the Giants said in a statement. “We have no further comment at this time.”
Dunbar signed with the Washington Redskins as an undrafted free agent out of Florida in 2015 and was traded to the Seahawks in March.
“We are aware of the situation involving Quinton Dunbar and still gathering information,” the Seahawks said in a statement. “We will defer all further comment to league investigators and local authorities.”

Although business restrictions are set to begin easing in some parts of Virginia today, restaurants can only serve dine-in customers in an outdoor space. The three-michelin-star restaurant has opted to wait until May 29 to resume dining service.
“When we needed to solve the problem of social distancing and reducing our restaurant’s occupancy by half, the solution seemed obvious – fill it with interestingly dressed dummies,” chef and proprietor Patrick O’connell said. “This would allow plenty of space between real guests and elicit a few smiles and provide some fun photo ops.
“We’re all craving to gather and see other people right now. They don’t all need to be real people.”
