Former NFL player and Provine High School football star Quinton Culberson is moving along on his path of personal destruction. JPD arrested Culberson after he allegedly burglarized a church last week. Culbertson has quite a violent history. Felony dui's, aggravated assaults, breaking his father's jaw, kidnapping, assaulting cops, and breaking into churches are just some of his crimes since he was in high school. Unfortunately, Culberson spent no time in prison thanks to a series of judges who sent him to drug treatment programs he did not complete.
JPD arrested Culberson on December 4 for breaking into a church. Police caught him with dollies removing stolen items such as computers. Jackson Municipal Court Judge Jeff Reynolds ordered him released to the drug treatment program at Care Ministries. Culberson must stay sober for one year, comply with all rules of program, and not leave until released. If he fails to comply with the conditions, Judge Reynolds can revoke his bond.
Culberson has been in trouble with the law almost since the day he was born. Even though he was a star football player at Provine High School, Culberson's true nature manifested itself. WLBT reported in 2003:
One of the state's top high school football players is out of jail after being arrested for fighting with a Hinds County Deputy. Seventeen-year old Quentin Culberson spent the night at the Hinds County Detention Center. The Provine High School safety is charged with assaulting a police officer, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct. Culberson is considered by many to be Mississippi's best prep player. Rest of article.
The charges were dropped after some preachers went crying to Sheriff Mac. Culberson went on to play at Mississippi A&M where he became an All-SEC linebacker. The Farmer Boy played in the NFL from 2007 to 2009 for the St. Louis Rams and the Carolina Panthers.
Culberson is a star alumnus of the Hinds County Catch & Release Program. Check out his criminal history:
* 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. ...
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.
The lenient sentence apparently made no impact on the former footballer. A probation officer reported to the court on December 7, 2016 that he had violated his probation:
The Offender Quinton Culberson has violated the terms of his probation. Offender was arrested by JPD November 15, 2016 for Drug paraphernalia and an Open Container and tested positive for Crack Cocaine when drug tested by probation Officer. Offender was released and arrested again on November 18, 2016 by JPD charged with BUSINESS BURGLARY which is a felony. Bond was set at $25,000.He wound up not going to prison as he was admitted to the Mercy House Treatment Facility.

* 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 sat on her docket for quite some time. 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.
The case was remanded to file and he was enrolled in the drug court program.
* JPD arrested Culberson in 2022 for business burglary, auto burglary, and grand larceny. The Hinds County grand jury indicted him on these charges later that year. The indictment alleges Culberson robbed Rosemont Church in Jackson, an apartment complex in West Jackson, and an Atmos Energy truck.
The defendant pleaded guilty in October 2024. Special Circuit Judge Barry Ford gave him credit for time served as he sentenced him to 14 years in prison but suspended 12 years of the sentence. However, the District Attorney filed a motion for a conditional remand. Judge Ford remanded the charges and ordered Culberson to complete the drug court program.
Judge Winston Kidd issued an arrest warrant for Culberson on November 7 for failing to comply with the drug court program after he ordered him to treatment in July 2025. Starting to see a pattern?
* JPD arrested Culberson in July 2025 for burglary of a dwelling. A Jackson Municipal Court judge set his bond at $50,000 and ordered him to be screened for alcohol and drug treatment. Sound familiar?
Kingfish note: Culberson is past going to drug treatment programs. He has no interest in getting clean and staying clean. He is clearly a danger to society. The District Attorney should move to reinstate the 12-year suspended sentence because prison is where this guy belongs.

I just knew Tomie Green's name would show up in that chronology.
Hail State!
lasted 3 years in the NFL ..............very typical
We all know how this will end.
Typical State player. Also, how did he get into the NFL with this prior history?
The typical responses from the knuckle draggers. Some street justice is needed here. It’s also time judges are held responsible for their rulings.
Former NFL players in The Sip are exempt from the law, right Brett?
In some circles there is an alternative meaning to NFL.
Burgled a church - yep, he's on the way to recovery. Right Tomie?
to 1038...you dont know much about contact sports do you? there has been more junkies , criminals and thugs in contact sports than all other sports combined.
you comment proves just how nieve the beautiful people of the SEC truly are.
to 1057....tell us how you gonna hold judges ''responsible''.......this i got to hear.
He is cruising for some lead poisoning.
What could go wrong?
Like some others have he will run across someone who is not as understanding as the judges. His family will demand that the person who had to stop him be jailed for murder. They will show a few pictures of him when he was in grade school and tell people he had just started to turn his life around. In a short time he will also be forgotten just like the ones who did the same.
Wear that baby blue while you can, next time you can prance around again in it, it will smell like a cedar chest…
This is the kind of person people’s sons and daughters have to go to class with and watch out for walking alone on campus while the universities pretend these criminals are student athletes.
Shame on you Jeff Reynolds as he has been given too many opportunities!
It is not 100% his fault. The justice system keeps rewarding him for his bad behavior. Put him in jail. While you are at it, pick his lawyer up also.
2003 was a different time. I'm surprised that Hinds County deputy didn't let him meet the business end of his Streamlight.
He's about as bright as that old geazer wearing a woman's dress and an ankle monitor getting fried trying to steal copper wire that was live at the time.
The bullpups can recruit 'em, can't they?
From his picture at least he's happy in his work.
Maybe the WOKE NFL will pick him up again.
He graduated Provine and stayed eligible for four years at State somehow, so something must have gone wrong at some point...
Breaking into churches? Good thing I am not his judge. He would not see daylight again if I sentenced him. Examples must be made.
@1:31 I was working for the Sheriff’s Office and am familiar with this incident. After the Deputy beat him down, he got to his feet and charged the Deputy who proceeded to go WWE with a folding metal chair. Fight over!
Y'all are too harsh. This is one of the good ones. He's a FOOTBALL player.
