Giants’ DeAndre Baker surrenders to police on armed robbery charges

NFL player’s lawyer says client is innocent of all charges
Seahawks’ Quinton Dunbar also faces charges over incident

New York Giants cornerback DeAndre Baker turned himself in to police in Florida on Saturday morning to face four counts of armed robbery with a firearm and four counts of aggravated assault.

“Reports are correct that Deandre turned himself in this morning,” his attorney, Bradford Cohen, wrote in an Instagram post. “I am a believer in the system and that if everything works the matter will be appropriately resolved.”

Reports are correct that Deandre turned himself in this morning. I am a believer in the system and that if everything works the matter will be appropriately resolved. Both my client and I have felt @miramarpd and the Detective working the case, were accommodating and went out of their way to assure Mr Bakers privacy during this hard time. That is not just lip service, it is fact,, and we appreciate it. This is my 23rd year in practice defending those who I feel are wrongly charged or wrongly treated. That doesn’t mean that all police officers are bad or all are good. We all have jobs to do and I believe we all do them to the best of our ability. Police reports are just that, reports of what was told to them or said to them. Court is what we use to then examine those reports, investigate those claims and allow the Defendant an opportunity to confront the evidence. Don’t rush to judgement.
