Former NFL Defensive End Robert Quinn Arrested After Hit And Run
The accident is the second hit and run for Quinn since August 2023.
Former NFL All-Pro defensive end Robert Quinn was arrested for a hit and run in Charleston, South Carolina, during the early morning hours of Jan. 10. According to an incident report, a man who was later identified as Quinn, attempted to leave the scene of an accident in another vehicle.
According to Fox 10, the accident left Quinn with visible injuries to his head and hands, as well as fresh bleeding, which was consistent with injuries from a car crash. Officers responding to the crash identified a Ford F-150 registered to Quinn as the vehicle that started the crash.
Per their account, Quinn’s truck struck the passenger side of a Honda Element and pushed it into another pickup truck and a Chrysler 300 due to the collision with Quinn’s vehicle.
Quinn initially refused to leave the vehicle he was being picked up in but was eventually pulled from the car by officers and sent to an area hospital, where he received treatment for his injuries before being sent to the Al Cannon Detention Center for booking, where he currently remains.
This is Quinn’s second hit-and-run accident since August 2023, when he hit four cars, a gate, and a light post in a similar incident.
According to WCBD, a white Dodge Challenger was in reverse as officers arrived on the scene. When they stopped the vehicle, the female driver informed the officers that Quinn had summoned her to pick him up, who was in the car’s front seat.
According to the incident report, Quinn was uncooperative with the officers, refusing to provide information and slurring his speech. Quinn was reportedly at a nightclub in the area approximately an hour before the crash.
After the officers pulled and reviewed city traffic cameras, they discovered that a vehicle that appeared to be Quinn’s crossed an intersection and a median and then traveled onto someone’s property, where the crash occurred.
As a result of his actions, the former NFL All-Pro was charged with leaving the scene of a collision with property damage and reckless driving.
