Footage of former NFL player Robert Quinn’s arrest from January due to a multi-vehicle hit-and-run collision has surfaced, and it appears to show him being confrontational with officers.
The incident took place in North Charleston, SC, on Jan. 10. In footage of the scene newly obtained by TMZ, Quinn can be seen being escorted to a squad car because he seemingly had problems staying balanced on his own.
Once inside of the vehicle, a close-up of his bruised and bloodied face can be seen. Throughout the ride to be booked, Quinn kicks the inside of the car door repeatedly and asks the police officer driving if they have any scissors he could use — presumably to cut himself free of his restraints.
Authorities originally responded, just after 2.a.m. that morning, to a car dealership due to a collision involving a red Ford F-150 that then struck the side of a Honda Element, which then pushed into a blue Ford F-150 that ultimately struck a purple Chrysler 300.
When officers arrived, the North Charleston Fire Department advised them that Quinn was believed to be in a nearby vehicle attempting to leave the scene. Officers discovered him in the passenger seat of a Dodge Challenger, with the driver alerting police that Quinn asked to be picked up from the scene.
Quinn had multiple injuries on his heads and hands, consistent with being in the collision. Authorities reported that he was being “uncooperative” and slurred his speech.
Quinn was ultimately charged with reckless driving and leaving the scene of a collision with property damage. He was booked at a nearby jail that morning and was released in the afternoon. The trial for his two misdemeanor charges is currently set to begin in December.
Back in 2023, Quinn faced similar hit-and-run allegations. That August, Quinn was arrested in South Carolina after being accused of crashing into four cars, a light post, and a gate, and then fleeing the scene.
