DeAndre Baker Charged With Four Counts Of Robbery With Firearm, No Charges Filed Against Quinton Dunbar

Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports that Giants CB Deandre Baker has been charged with four counts of robbery with a firearm.

If convicted, Baker would be looking at a mandatory minimum of 10 years and up to life in state prison.

According to Leonard, Broward prosecutors have declined to charge Quinton Dunbar due to “insufficient evidence.”

Both Dunbar and Baker were placed on the commissioner’s exempt list by the NFL. 

Baker and Dunbar turned themselves in to the police back on May 16 and were later released on $200,000 and $100,000 bond, respectively.

Baker pled not guilty to four counts of armed robbery with a firearm and four counts of aggravated assault with a firearm while Dunbar pled not guilty to four counts of armed robbery with a firearm.

The NFL is investigating the incident and could announce discipline for the two players involved at some point.

The two players were partying in Miramar, FL. on May 13th and were allegedly hanging at a cookout when an argument broke out Baker pulled out a semi-automatic firearm.

Police said Dunbar assisted in taking watches and other valuables at the direction of Baker. In total, Baker allegedly stole $12,400 in cash from four people and four watches ranging in price from $600 to $25,000 worth $61,100 in total.

A witness mentioned that Baker and Dunbar were at another party a few days earlier where they “lost about $70,000” gambling. 

Baker was allegedly wearing a red mask and directed another man to shoot someone who had just walked into the party.

Baker, 22, is a former first-round pick of the Giants back in 2019. He’s in the second year of his four-year, $10,525,716 contract that included a $5,675,064 signing bonus.

The contract includes a fifth-year option for the Giants to pick up for the 2023 season.

In 2019, Baker appeared in all 16 games for the Giants and recorded 61 tackles, no interceptions and eight passes defended.
