FRISCO – Former Dallas Cowboys defensive end Robert Quinn was arrested on Friday in South Carolina on charges for hit and run with his vehicle along with assault charges. … with Dorchester County police saying that when they did finally track down Quinn, they discovered a “partially empty bottle” of whiskey in the truck.
It is alleged that Quinn crashed into four different cars, a light post, and a gate of someone’s house – and that all of this happened on Tuesday, after which he left the scene.
According to WCSC-TV, one witness said Quinn, who played for the Cowboys in the 2019 season, totaling a team-high 11.5 sacks, did speak to people before leaving the scene but was “very belligerent.”
“He kept saying, ‘Oh, don’t worry about it I’ll buy you new cars, I’ll buy you new cars, let’s go to the dealership,'” the witness said. “I told him to get off my property and he proceeded to put his hands on me and slap me not once but twice.”
Quinn, 33, has made the Pro Bowl three and has recorded 285 solo tackles, 83 assisted tackles, 102.0 sacks, and three fumble recoveries in his career. Last season, he had eight solo tackles, two assisted tackles, and one sack in 13 games while playing for the Chicago Bears and then, after a trade, to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Quinn, the No. 14 overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, was in 2012 involved in a single-car crash in Missouri and charged with a DWI and driving without insurance.
In this latest case, court records indicate that Quinn has been charged with a total of seven violations.
