Report: Bond set for former SEC DBs Deandre Baker, Quinton Dunbar in armed robbery case

Published:
Both former Georgia DB Deandre Baker and former Florida DB Quinton Dunbar have surrendered to police after an incident in Florida last week.
Both face several charges of armed robbery, with Baker facing additional aggravated assault allegations.
On Sunday, it was reported by ESPN’s Cameron Wolfe that bond had been set for both former SEC standouts:
Broward County Judge Michael Davis ruled Sunday that Dunbar be granted a $100,000 bond — $25,000 for each of the four armed robbery charges. Baker was granted a $200,000 bond — $25,000 each for four counts of armed robbery with a firearm and four counts of aggravated assault with a firearm.
They will be forced to relinquish their firearms and have no contact with the victims or guns. Both will be released Sunday if they post bond, as expected.
Wolfe reported that the state asked for no bond to be given to either player.
The report from ESPN cited an affidavit released by one of the attorneys from a friend of both Baker and Dunbar who said the whole incident was blown out of proportion:
A piece of the affidavit he did present from Dominick Johnson, a friend of both parties, was presented by the state.
“At some point there was an argument that arose between some of the parties that were playing the dice game,” it read. “I was never in fear for my life in any situation that happened that day and DeAndre Baker did not take any property from me and did not point a gun at anyone.”
This legal case is just getting started, so we’ll see what developments happen over the coming weeks.
