New York Giants cornerback DeAndre Baker and Seattle Seahawks cornerback Quinton Dunbar turned themselves in to the Miramar Police Department in Florida on Saturday.

Baker is facing four counts of armed robbery with a firearm and four counts of aggravated assault with a firearm for an incident that took place Wednesday. Dunbar faces four counts of armed robbery with a firearm.

Baker's lawyer, Bradford Cohen, announced Saturday morning on Instagram that his client surrendered to police. Miramar PD later confirmed that Dunbar also turned himself in.

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.

Arrest warrants for Baker and Dunbar have been out since Thursday.

Baker and Dunbar are set to be released Sunday with a $200,000 bond and a $100,000 bond, respectively, according to ESPN's Cameron Wolfe.

"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," wrote Cohen. "Don't rush to judgement (sic)."

On Friday, Baker's and Dunbar's lawyers said they have witness testimony that exonerates the players of armed robbery.

Baker was the 30th overall pick in the 2019 draft, and the Seahawks acquired Dunbar in a trade with the Washington Redskins in March.
