South Carolina native and NFL player Robert Quinn has turned himself in three days after witnesses say he hit several cars, a light post and a gate with his truck before assaulting a woman in Summerville.
Authorities say 33-year-old Quinn was taken into custody Friday and booked in the Dorchester County Detention Center. He's since been released.
Police reports show officers responded last Tuesday night to the Carrington Chase subdivision where they found five damaged cars, a broken gate and a crowd of about 20 people. They also discovered a partially empty bottle of Crown Royal Apple whiskey on the floorboard of Quinn’s red Ford F-150. But Quinn was nowhere to be found.
A woman at the scene tells officers she saw Quinn’s truck hit two vehicles parked outside her home. Then, according to the report, he got out, offered to buy the woman a beer and struck her in the face.
Police say members of Quinn’s family arrived on the scene and confirmed the truck was his but said they had not been able to find him.
Quinn played football for Fort Dorchester High School and was a 2011 first-round pick in the NFL. He’s played for several teams including the Chicago Bears and the Philadelphia Eagles. He is currently a free agent.
