Ex-NFL Star Robert Quinn Arrested For Attempting To Flee Scene With Fresh Bleeding After Crashing A Truck

Former NFL star Robert Quinn has gotten himself into serious trouble. He crashed a truck and then tried to flee the accident scene for reasons best known to him. That’s wild!

Now, I’m not one to judge, but seriously? You’re a former pro athlete, you should know better than to try and flee the scene of an accident. It’s not like people wouldn’t recognize you! It’s just plain irresponsible. Leaving the scene of an accident is illegal for a reason – it puts other people at risk and shows a total lack of regard for the law.

I get it – accidents happen. But the right thing to do is to stay at the scene, check if everyone is okay, and call for help if needed. Running away like a coward just makes everything worse.

According to a police report, obtained by TMZ Sports, the wreck happened at around 2 AM on January 10 in North Charleston, South Carolina.

Cops say after responding to the scene of the accident, they found Quinn in another person’s ride with “fresh bleeding, consistent with injuries sustained in a vehicle collision.”

The docs state after surveying the crash site and questioning people on the scene — including the driver of the car they found Quinn in — officers determined the former NFL pass rusher had wrecked his Ford F-150 … and then tried to leave the area by calling an acquaintance to come pick him up.

But, officers wrote in the report that when they went to arrest Quinn for leaving the scene of a collision with property damage … he fought back.

The report states they had to get the 34-year-old — who they said previously had exhibited slurred speech and an unwillingness to identify himself — in an arm bar in order to get him to the ground so they could place cuffs on him.

Ultimately, he was taken to a nearby jail and booked at 6:52 AM on two charges — including reckless driving. Records show he was released later in the day, at 1:25 PM … and is now due in court for a hearing in the case in February.

Hopefully, Robert Quinn will learn from this experience and make better choices in the future. For now, he is facing the law and if he’s not lucky, he could end up in jail.
