HILLSBOROUGH, N.C. (AP) — A former college football player has been arrested and charged with violating North Carolina's state sports agent law.
Chris Hawkins faces a court appearance Tuesday afternoon in Orange County.
According to arrest warrants made public Tuesday, Hawkins faces two charges of trying to induce former Tar Heels defensive end Robert Quinn to sign a contract with him in 2010 — by giving Quinn $13,700 in cash, and by helping him sell game-used equipment for another $1,700. Quinn now plays for the St. Louis Rams.
Hawkins also is charged with intentionally initiating contact with former UNC defensive back Jabari Price in 2013 via Instagram without being a registered agent, and of intentionally failing to register as an athlete agent.
