Report: Charges Dropped Against Ex-Giants DB DeAndre Baker
The charges leveled against former Giants first-round pick DeAndre Baker are being dropped, the Broward State Attorney's Office (Fla.) told Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News on Monday.
Baker was charged with four counts of robbery with a firearm stemming from an alleged incident in South Florida this spring.
"I’ve been saying this from Day 1, that this was an extortion scheme and that Deandre was the victim," Baker's lawyer, Bradford Cohen, told the NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "This event did not play out as they insinuated. And the case was dismissed."
