Dunbar, a cornerback for the Seattle Seahawks
and New York Giants cornerback Baker were accused of robbing
guests at gun-point at a house party they attended near Miami a
night earlier, according to the arrest warrant issued on
Thursday by the Miramar Police Department.
A police spokeswoman cited by the New York Times said that the
players had not been arrested and that the police were in touch
with the NFL and a lawyer representing one of the players.
The police added that the two players allegedly stole over
$7,000 in cash and at least two watches valued at $18,000 and
$25,000 each.
The Seattle Seahawks said they were aware of the situation and
did not comment further.
"We are aware of the situation involving Quinton Dunbar and
still gathering information. We will defer all further comment
to league investigators and local authorities", the Seahawks
said on Twitter.
The arrest warrant added that there was a dispute at the party
in which the guests were gambling and playing cards and video
games. Baker took out a gun after the argument at the card table
and pointed it at another guest, the warrant said.
The New York Giants cornerback then allegedly asked Dunbar and
another man wearing a red mask to start collecting money and
some other belongings from people at the party.
