Former Rams All-Pro pass rusher Robert Quinn was arrested early Friday morning in North Charleston, S.C., following a car crash. According to The Post and Courier in Charleston, Quinn was allegedly leaving a nightclub when he crashed his pickup truck into a used car lot and attempted to flee the scene of the accident.
He was charged with leaving the scene of a collision with property damage and reckless driving. The incident occurred at 2 a.m., and both North Charleston police and firefighters were called to the scene.
According to the report, firefighters found Quinn “attempting to leave in a white Dodge Challenger driven by a woman he had met at the club earlier.” When the car was stopped, police found Quinn bleeding from his head and hands, and his speech was slurred.
He was also uncooperative and police accused him of resisting arrest. He was eventually detained and taken into custody where he was booked at the Sheriff Al Cannon Detention Center.
