Ex-NFL Star Arrested After Multiple-Car Collision
Former NFL player Robert Quinn has been arrested in his native South Carolina after a multiple car collision involving multiple vehicles in North Charleston.
According to WCBD and a report from North Charleston PD, officers responded to a crash scene at approximately 2 a.m. on Jan. 10 when they say a white Dodge Challenger was reversing away as they arrived. A man in the passenger seat—later identified as Quinn—reportedly had visible head and hand injuries that were freshly bleeding, and the woman driving told officers that he called her to pick him up.
Police said Quinn was uncooperative in providing information, noting he was slurring his speech and reportedly had been at a nightclub approximately an hour before the crash.
City camera footage showed the vehicle driven by Quinn crossing a median and onto a property where the crash happened. The car struck a Honda Element, pushed into a Ford F-150, and hit a Chrysler 300. He was arrested on charges of leaving the scene of a collision with property damage and reckless driving.

Prior to leaving the NFL in 2023 following the Philadelphia Eagles' Super Bowl appearance that year, Quinn played as a defensive end for the Los Angeles Rams, Miami Dolphins, Dallas Cowboys, and Chicago Bears. After being released to free agency, he was arrested in August 2023 on charges connected to multiple hit-and-run crashes in the greater Charleston area.
Quinn is currently being held at the Al Cannon Detention Center.
