Quinton Dunbar Finally Turns Himself in as Lawyer Releases Scathing Statement on Social Media
By Thomas Carannante
The Quinton Dunbar-DeAndre Baker alleged armed robbery situation continues to take unexpected twists and turns. The incident unfolding was bizarre and screwy enough, but things remain unclear with each passing day.
Baker turned himself in on Saturday and Dunbar followed suit a bit later, but the Seahawks cornerback's lawyer has doubled down on his innocence via social media.
Today our client Quintin Dunbar voluntarily surrendered at the Broward County jail pursuant to a bogus arrest warrant based solely on uncorroborated witness statements that have since been recanted. As I write this an innocent man sits in jail, facing charges that hold no water. pic.twitter.com/HkIps6x04u

Might want to spell your client's name correctly, though, Michael!
On Friday, Dunbar and his representation claimed to have evidence suggesting he wasn't involved in the robbery, which could very well eventually exonerate him, but it didn't do much in terms of reversing the warrant.
#Seahawks CB Quinton Dunbar has letters from the alleged victims that say he was not involved in the armed robbery. Dunbar's attorney @Mike_Grieco told @AndySlater: “I can’t believe Miramar PD did a virtual touchdown dance without investigating further.”

The incident allegedly occurred late Wednesday night, and the news broke on Thursday. Baker allegedly instructed two other accomplices to take valuables from the alleged victims while Dunbar was seen helping him. At first, there were conflicting accounts in regards to Dunbar being armed; multiple accounts later emerged suggesting he wasn't involved at all.
We're unsure how this will unfold for Baker, but if Dunbar has legitimate evidence in his favor, he could get himself out of a horrific situation that could derail his NFL career.
