Robbins Faces Felony Charges

Former Oakland Raider center Barret Robbins was charged Wednesday with three counts of attempted felony murder, less than a week after being shot during a struggle with three police officers investigating a burglary call.

Robbins is best remembered for missing team meetings the night before the 2003 Super Bowl against Tampa Bay in San Diego.

He spent Super Bowl Sunday in a hospital and later acknowledged that he had stopped taking his medicine for depression and bipolar disorder.

He was wounded Saturday night after Miami Beach police found him inside a women’s restroom in a building housing a pub, a gym and a jewelry store. The pub owner called police after Robbins forced his way inside the building and refused to leave, a police report said.

Robbins, 31, of Englewood, Colo., growled, snarled and “was heard laughing throughout the attack,” the report said.

Robbins, who also suffers from alcoholism, also was charged with two felony counts of attempting to deprive an officer of his weapon, two felony counts of resisting an officer with violence and misdemeanor trespassing.

The felony counts carry possible five-year sentences.

Arraignment was scheduled for Feb. 9.

Robbins was critically injured and remains in a Miami hospital jail unit.
