DELRAY BEACH, FL — Barret Robbins stands 6′ 3″ tall and weighs more than 300 pounds. You’d never know it from looking at the guy, but rewind ~19 years and he was leading the Oakland Raiders offensive line, driving the team all the way the Super Bowl.
But at his arrest this past November, Robbins wasn’t wearing a jersey. Initially, he wasn’t wearing anything at all.
Other than red fingernail polish.
In the 2002 NFL season with Bill Callahan in his first year as head coach, Robbins started all sixteen regular season games and was elected to the Pro Bowl. The Raiders would go on to defeat the New York Jets, and then the Tennessee Titans in the AFC championship game.
Then, the day before the Super Bowl, Robbins disappeared. And it’s not clear how much control he had over that outcome. Robbins resurfaced the next day incoherent and unfit to take the field. He had lost his wallet and ID, and his then-wife would later reveal that Robbins spent most of the day before the Super Bowl partying in Tijuana. Because he thought the Raiders had already won the Super Bowl. Of course, they hadn’t. And the Raiders would go on to lose the big game to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 48-21.
Although Robbins was nominally back in 2003, he never fully returned to his NFL career. Robbins got caught up in the BALCO steroid scandal (along with Marion Jones, Dwain Chambers and others). Robbins was released from his contract in the summer of 2004.
A few months later, on Christmas Eve, Robbins was arrested for punching a security guard in San Francisco, and less than a month after that incident, Robbins was shot three times in the lung and heart by police during a brawl in Miami Beach. He was in a coma for more than a month, and after he woke up and recovered the former-footballer pleaded guilty to five charges, among which was attempted murder. He was sentenced to five years probation, ordered to receive mental health treatment, and was required to abstain from drinking.
Since then, Robbins’ life has been defined by jail, rehab, mental hospitals, and the streets. In early 2010, a police officer pulled Robbins over near Dallas and found crack cocaine in his car. On March 25, 2011, a Florida court sentenced Robbins to five years for violating his probation. He was released significantly early, on September 25, 2012.
In August 2016, Robbins allegedly punched a mother and her daughter in Florida, He was arrested and charged with two counts of felony battery. Robbins was sent to a mental hospital, which he references toward the end of this video.
In that same conversation — between Robbins and a police officer —Robbins tells the officer that he has spent his last two years homeless and smoking crack on the streets of Pompano Beach.
Quite the fall.
As for this incident, on November 14, 2020 Robbins and the police had an unwanted meeting.
On that day, at approximately 1:30 pm, police responded to Sandes Restaurant at 1717 N Federal Highway in reference to a disturbance. The caller reported that a heavyset white male with red painted fingernails had thrown a rock at a server after having skipped out on his bill.
The manager of Sandes, Bailey Stormer called the police and stated that she had maintained visual contact with the red-fingernailed white male and that she had followed him to a Budget Inn location on the same street. Stormer reported that the male had ordered a taco salad meal that cost $10.00, and that an unknown customer had given the male money to cover his meal. Despite that, the male just got up and left the restaurant, paying by tossing a fist-sized rock at his server.
Robbins was ultimately arrested and charged with one count of Defrauding an Innkeeper, less than $300. Robbins refused to come to court for first appearance, and was arraigned on video. On December 14, 2020, adjudication was withheld on the lone charge and Robbins was sentenced to 31 days in jail, with credit for 31 days served. He was ordered to pay restitution to Sandes Restaurant in the amount of $10.00… along with $373 in fines and fees.
Two weeks prior to the Sandes Restaurant incident, Robbins had a separate encounter with Delay Beach law enforcement. That time around, it took six people to hold him down and he had to be sedated.

The bitch who chased him down is " Awful" as she claimed he was does she understand how mental disease works this guy is a legend….and I am not saying skipping out on a bill is right but for fuck sakes the bitch prolly throws hundreds away at the end of the day and then add the mental disease etc….suck a shame how this happens
Hodgee just dying to kick him out and shit.
$10 meal vs. $20 fake…. I see
This is ridiculous. Did the restaurant really insist that he be arrested over $10?!
He wanted to go in and get the $10 and the cops say “we are past thatâ€. Why??!!! Just let him get the $10 and give it to the restaurant. Problem solved.
I wonder if any of those officers kept that white towel he was wiping his balls and crack for a keep sake.
That cop at the end.. shes in the wrong field! Should be dealing with patients like him. She brought him out of a panic. Kudos to that cop! Sad for this man. Hope he can find peace
What a dirtbag
From Pro Bowl Offensive Lineman to living in a $10 a day Motel. Sad.
Obvious CTE, narcotic use doesn’t leave you like that, talking about people in restaurants with guns, couldn’t remember where his shirt went, that’s brain damage in my opinion, and I think he’s been dealing with it for along time.
He said no about the rock many times. Damn. These cops are shady. Seeing he’s mentally ill they kept trying to reassure him that everything’s ok and he’s ok. Knowing, from the beginning that he would be arrested
FYI the cops were nice because they were scared of him. He is a big man
Jail isn’t the fix for this situation
They should have paid the $10 and gotten him to a psychiatrist.
He’s gonna be “10-15.†lol. Ok
The most detailed description ever .. terrific job RW. I also would love to see the lapel footage of that Miami brawl leading to shots fired
CTE
EVERYBODY'S NOT GONNA HAVE A "PERFECT LIFE"… HE OFFERED TO PAY SO THERE IS NO WAY I'D OF TOOK THAT EX-NFL PLAYER TO JAIL..
78% of retired NFL players go bankrupt and broke within 2 years of retirement. End up in situations like this. Sad that the NFL and fans don't care.
Shits hard to see
Restaurant manager: "He's like your size but a little bit bigger."
*Robbins is almost literally twice the size of the cop*
I know where this is
This is very sad! So many people are suffering
Sad! VERY SAD! The NFL should have taken better care of him!
Praying for Barret that he gets help.
Are you going to pay for your bill??? No go smoke some weed🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Send more backup a lot of backup.
Sad
I can see one bg reason why they want this to go smoothly
I can tell there’s a real good person in there, constricted, confused and disoriented by the career of concussions.
I mean he’s obviously a nice guy, and is trying his best to be a good person, but it gets a bit harder after constant concussions.
i bet he has been to eat there more than once.. i hope nobody eats at that place again. the police know him and none have 10 dollars to help him out.
thats not cte thats years of drug abuse people have an excuse for anything 😂
She is a privileged little white girl on god
He doesn’t need to go to jail.
It's heart breaking to know he needs help
Delray Beach? This guy's name isn't Baskin Robbins, it's Big Lenny. He's on Delray Misfits YouTube channel and has a channel of his own.
That is a guy who is clearly suffering inside
I am a Raiders fan from the 70's and Barrett is one of the saddest stories ever. this dude is totally bi polar and is probably off his meds. I wish I was there I would just have paid for his meal. Help him, Don't kill him.
i want a flintstone lol
Free Barret Robbins!!
