Former Dallas Cowboys and Los Angeles Rams star defensive end Robert Quinn was arrested in North Charleston, South Carolina today for his involvement in a hit-and-run incident.
According to Steven Ardary of FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth, police arrested Robert Quinn this morning for attempting to flee the scene of a vehicle accident. Ardary adds that the three-time Pro Bowler “was charged with leaving the scene of an accident with property damage and reckless driving.”
Police received a call after 2 a.m. about a collision, with firefighters on the scene informing officers that Quinn was trying to flee. Per Ardary, Quinn had facial/head injuries and tried holding the door closed when officers tried taking him out of the vehicle.

The Rams drafted Quinn 14th overall in 2011 following a three-year career at North Carolina. He spent his first seven seasons with the franchise before joining the Miami Dolphins for one season (2018). Quinn also played for Dallas (2019), the Chicago Bears (2020-22) and Philadelphia Eagles (2022).
In 2021, Quinn set the new Bears’ single-season sack record with 18.5.
Robert Quinn Had An Up-And-Down NFL Career
Quinn had one of the more fascinating NFL careers in the 21st century. He had three-straight seasons of double-digit sacks from 2012 to 2014, including a career-high 19 in the 2013 campaign.
However, he wouldn’t hit double-digit sacks again until 2019 (11.5). After one season with Dallas, Quinn turned back the clock to hit 18.5 sacks in 2021, only to record a single sack in his swan song 2022 campaign (split with Chicago and Philly).
