A white Dodge Challenger was going in reverse when police arrived, according to official reports and when stopped by police, a female driver told them that Quinn, who was in the pᴀssenger seat, had called her for a ride, according to WCBD in Charleston.

Police said Quinn was uncooperative following the incident and was slurring his speech, according to TMZ.

Quinn was also reportedly at a gentleman’s club before his arrest and surveillance cameras showed him driving his pickup truck over a median and intersection and into the area where the crash was reported.
