DeAndre Baker turned himself in to Miramar (Florida) police on Saturday morning while his attorney said he had proof, including video evidence, of Baker’s innocence and urged avoiding a “rush to judgement.”

The Giants cornerback, facing four counts of armed robbery and four counts of aggravated assault with a firearm from an incident on Wednesday night, had a warrant issued for his arrest on Thursday. If he is convicted, each count of armed robbery carries a minimum sentence of 10 years in prison in Florida, 15 years if a semi-automatic weapon was used as has been alleged against Baker.
