St. Louis County, MO (KSDK) - Robert Quinn, the St. Louis Rams' first-round draft pick in 2011, was arrested for DWI earlier this month, the Florissant Police Department said Thursday.

According to Officer Andy Haarmann, a police spokesman, the incident occurred just before 5:40 a.m. on July 10.

Police were responding to a single vehicle accident on the exit ramp of eastbound I-270 at Washington/Elizabeth.

Robert Quinn was charged with DWI and two additional traffic charges.  He posted bond and was released from jail that morning after posting a cash bond.

Haarmann said Quinn cooperated fully with police.
