Two NFL players have been arrested over the course of the past 24 hours. Robert Quinn, who is currently a free agent, was arrested on August 18 on suspicion of a hit-and-run. The defensive end was arrested in Summerville, South Carolina. Police accused the 33-year-old of ramming his pickup truck into four vehicles as well as assaulting a woman in a residential neighborhood. Quinn was charged with one count of third-degree assault and battery, one count of hit-and-run of an attended vehicle, four counts of hit-and-run property damage, and one count of striking fixtures adjacent to a highway.
Quinn played college football at North Carolina before being drafted in 2011 by the Rams. He appeared in every game over the course of his rookie contract and remained with the team until 2017. After back-to-back one-year stints with the Cowboys and Dolphins, he joined the Bears in 2020. He was traded to the Eagles partway through the 2022 season. He would appear in a total of 13 games (seven with Chicago and six with Philadelphia). However, he was sidelined by injury late in the season.
