Former UNC Defensive Back Chris Hawkins’ bond was reduced from $300,000 to a $5,000 secured bond at his court hearing on Monday, according to Assistant District Attorney Jeff Nieman.

To comply with the lower bond figure, Hawkins must fully cooperate with pretrial services and regularly check in with his probation officer in Durham.

Hawkins was arrested earlier this month on charges of athlete-agent inducement. Overall, he is facing two class i felonies – the lowest designation of a felony in North Carolina – as well as two misdemeanor charges.

Hawkins faces two counts of trying to induce former Tar Heels Defensive End Robert Quinn to sign a contract with him in 2010, by giving Quinn more than $13,000. Hawkins is also accused of aiding Quinn, who is now with the NFL’s St. Louis Rams, in selling game-used equipment, according to court documents.

Hawkins also is facing charges of intentionally contacting former UNC Defensive Back Jabari Price without being a registered agent and of intentionally failing to register as an athlete agent.

Hawkins was originally held under a $500,000 dollar bond before it was reduced to $300,000 after his first court appearance.

Hawkins is on the court docket for an administrative appearance on June 12.
