The 34-year-old Quinn was reportedly found in the passenger seat of a white Dodge Charger that had its reverse lights on. The driver of the vehicle told police Quinn had called them and asked them to "pick him up."

Quinn had visible marks on his face.

The driver told police she had met Quinn at a gentlemen's club earlier in the night.

When police asked for identification, Quinn responded with slurred speech and said, "Where is my wallet?" The wallet was in his hand before he dropped it in his lap.

From the report: "Officers asked Quinn to get out of the Challenger, but Quinn resisted by holding the door to the car, the report states. Police removed Quinn from the vehicle, and he was "escorted to the ground" by officers because he was trying to pull away from them."

Quinn's truck had reportedly struck another vehicle which caused a multi-car incident.
