The alleged incident happened Tuesday in
Summerville, S.C. Quinn turned himself in on Friday and was
granted bond for a total of seven charges.
Quinn faces one charge of hit-and-run of an attended vehicle,
one charge of third-degree assault and battery, four charges of
hit-and-run property damage and one charge of striking a highway
fixture.
Police incident reports said that Quinn hit a vehicle parked in
a driveway that a woman was sitting inside. She approached
Quinn, to which Quinn allegedly said he would buy her a beer,
then took her by the shoulders, said "Listen to me" and struck
her across the face open-handed.
The woman, Lisa Ball, spoke to local news outlet Live 5 News
WCSC.
"He was very belligerent," Ball said. "He kept saying, ‘Oh,
don't worry about it, I'll buy you new cars, I'll buy you new
car, let's go to the dealership.' I told him to get off my
property and he proceeded to put his hands on me and slap me not
once, but twice."
Quinn began last season with the Chicago Bears before being
traded to the Philadelphia Eagles on Oct. 26 for a fourth-round
draft pick. Quinn played seven regular-season games for Chicago
and six for Philadelphia, and he saw sparse playing time on the
Eagles' playoff run that culminated in a Super Bowl loss to
Kansas City.
Quinn, 33, became a free agent after last season because he and
the Eagles mutually agreed to void the final two years of his
prior contract.
A first-round draft pick by the then-St. Louis Rams in 2011,
Quinn has spent 12 seasons in the NFL and made the Pro Bowl in
2013, 2014 and 2021. He racked up 18.5 sacks for the Bears in
2021, a half-sack off his career high in 2013.
