Quinn has been charged with drunken driving in suburban St. Louis, police and court officials said Thursday. Florissant police Capt.

Quinn was one of three Tar Heels kicked off the team last fall for receiving improper benefits and he left after his junior year after being declared permanently ineligible. The Rams are satisfied the mistake that kept Quinn off the field last year was out of character. "He's the furthest thing from a criminal, thug, bad kid," general manager Billy Devaney said. "Nothing like that at all. He made a rookie mistake, a dumb college mistake and he paid the price for it."
