A former Provine football star who made it to the NFL continued his downward spiral. JPD arrested Quinton Culberson for business burglary, auto burglary, and grand larceny. The charges are just one more episode in a string of arrests and substance abuse problems over the last decade.
JJ reported on June 2, 2017:
Former Mississippi State University linebacker Quinton Culberson has been on a downward spiral for the last year. He was convicted of a felony DUI last year but continues to have substance abuse problems. He was arrested twice in November for business burglary and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was again arrested for violating the terms of his probation.
Culberson was an All-SEC Linebacker during his senior year at MSU. The Provine High School graduate signed with the St. Louis Rams as an undrafted rookie in 2007 and stayed on the roster for two years. He was cut by the Rams and played with the Carolina Panthers for a year.
A Hinds County grand jury indicted Culberson in July 2014 for a third-offense felony DUI. The indictment states that he was convicted of previous DUI's in Starkville and Oktibbeha County in 2013. He pleaded guilty in February 2016 to DUI Felony. Circuit Judge Bill Gowan sentenced him to serve five years in prison but suspended four years of the sentence and ordered him to serve the remaining year under house arrest. He was also placed under a three year term of supervised probation and required to submit for alcohol and drug treatment program.
Culberson violated probation in 2016 when JPD arrested him for possessing drug paraphenalia and testing positive for crack cocaine. Judge Gowan allowed him to enter a drug treatment program.
Unfortunately, Culberson continued to get in trouble. A Hinds County grand jury indicted him for aggravated assault, kidnapping, and strong-arm robbery on March 10, 2020. The indictment alleged Culberson kidnapped his father, Quincy Culberson, fractured his jaw, and forced him to withdraw $60 from an ATM.
The case was assigned to Circuit Judge Tomie Green where it sits on her docket. Apparently Culberson was in an alcohol rehab program (Friends of Alcoholics) in lieu of jail. If he was released from the program, he was to be returned to jail. The facility did not notify the District Attorney that Culberson left the program and was "back on the streets." Culberson apparently held a knife to the neck of another person in the program and refused to take his medication. She revoked his bond on September 30, 2021. He was finally arrested on August 29, 2022.
Culberson wasn't through getting in trouble. JPD charged him with two counts of business burglary, two counts of auto burglary, and grand larceny. The Jackson Municipal Court set his bond at $50,000 and transferred the case to Hinds County Court for a preliminary hearing.

Those former MS NFL stars always get break after break, right Brett?
@12:13
When did Brett get multiple DUIs and then convictions for drug possession? Worst thing I remember him getting publicity for, was sending unsolicited dick pics to adult women.
@12:40 PM Brett, thanks for checking in.
If you google this guy, it shows his net worth between 1 And 5 million dollars. NOT!
Drug are bad, mmmmkay
@1:01
Google can’t tell you someone’s net-worth. Only that person’s CPA and the IRS know that. Anyone claiming to know, are always just guessing.
Da Vine. #Legendary
Favre didn't steal monies. Politicians gave him monies. You would've taken the monies, too.
Unable to make the grade as a foo'paw star, couldn't he just go get a regular job?
What do you want me to say? Drugs. He apparently got a real bad drug, alcohol, or both habit. He physically attacked those who probably tried to help him . Broke his father's jaw, held a knife to the throat of a fellow rebab patient.
1:01 When you Google net worth its usually determined by what he made during his NFL career.
Kingfish; Nobody wants you to say anything. You think too highly of your occasional input. Just throw the raw meat out there for consumption and take a seat in the cheap seats. And if you really want to contribute, wrap up the story...What happened after his final arrest?
Maybe he will share a cell with Brett. No wait, sorry I forgot.
Are he and Jimmy Smith friends?
Drugs are bad.
@4:12
You don’t speak for me. kingfish is a midwit cuck. But I enjoy his take.
Where are the coaches?
Where, are, the coaches???
I said, WHERE ARE THE DAMN COACHES?!?!?
Get the coaches back in his life, and he’ll get back on his feet and back to the NFL and all this nonsense will be forgot about!
It was the football coaches like Coach O, Coach Sabin, and so many others that coached us about what to do to stop the spread of the coronavirus in 2020. Football saved us! Football is the heartbeat of this State, and the heart of this great country that we live in - so we all need to listen to what the football experts tell us. This is a football state and football region, and if you don’t like that, then get the hell out of here!!!! And don’t let your schoolbook and dorky backpack hit you on the behind that couldn’t even run the 40 in under 4.8 in high school on the way out!!!!!!
And with that, Kingfish, I challenge you to stop approving comments of these pencilnecks and geeks who never made the team and who write derogatory names for the sport that commands everything in our lives. This foo’paw comments are what I’m talking about! Some Joe Biden supporter, I bet. Stop insulting the sport, this state, and this country! By approving it.
Respect the game that gives us all life, and don’t put down a player just because the coaches in his life are dragging. With that, get back to sources like the SEC Network, the Paul Finebaum and Bro Bounds shows, every day ALL DAMN DAY, and get coached by it all, and we will all better people for it.
This JJ story has been up for almost a day and nobody from Ole Miss has posted how this is typical of players coming from MSU.
If the thug had played for Ole Miss the Mississippi State haters would almost surely have been posting here and “judging” (probably right after attending church on Sunday).
P.S. Kingfish, you are a trip sir! You regularly censor factual speech that even the commies (whistle blower’s word) at Twitter would allow, then let 4:12 PM & 7:34 PM tongue lash you like this?

I think your chin strap was too tight for too long.
He who is without sin cast the first stone.
6:48, Ole Miss people do not care about Mississippi State and their players.
If it wasn't for football most of the players would be in prison. There's a fine line between.
It's either go to jail or join the NFL.
Seems like the Ole Miss fan at 6:48 cares an awful lot about MSU, 9:48?
6:48 (clearly an OM fan) is just mad that another OM fan did not begin the bashing earlier.
Ole Miss fan here. This will probably be a result of CTE. He was great because he hit hard and often. Now the result no one wants to own. Don’t throw the stone.
1:04 sadly you are probably 100% correct. People love to read articles making these men out to be monsters but the real problem is ownership of the problem. Nobody wants to admit they love a sport that takes kids fathers away at young age. There is no excuse for the behavior and he is responsible for his life choices. However, many of these former gridiron greats and their families have to live with the lasting effects of the brain trauma from decades of being cheered on to make the most violent hits they could. Then when its over the ones that have no support system (which is most bc it takes a certain background and mental mind frame to be elite at a violent sport). The ones who have support manage the symptoms, the ones that don't turn to every thing they can to make themselves feel normal. Its not just 1 or 2. Every week there is some former player getting written about in his 30s and 40s and nobody seems to have an answer except they make bad choices so must be a bad person. Yes some are just bad moral characters but many may have a degree but how can they use a degree if their brain has been totally destroyed? Its only a matter of time before this blows up in everyone's face.
