DeAndre Baker was formally charged Friday with four counts of robbery with a firearm by Broward (Florida) State Attorney Michael Satz. If convicted, the Giants cornerback faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years to life in prison.
Baker was arrested nearly three months ago along with Seahawks cornerback Quinton Dunbar when the two were accused of stealing cash and watches at a house party on May 13 in Miramar, Florida. Prosecutors declined to file criminal charges against Dunbar, citing insufficient evidence. Dunbar, who was placed on the commissioner’s exempt list with Baker last month, could still face suspension from the NFL.
