Former UNC defensive back Chris Hawkins was indicted on Monday on felony athlete-agent inducement charges, according to the Orange County District Attorney’s Office.

Hawkins was arrested in May and charged with violating the state’s sports agent law. An Orange County grand jury indicted Hawkins on two misdemeanors and two class i felonies, which are the least serious felony offenses in North Carolina.

Hawkins allegedly provided former Tar Heel defensive end, and current St. Louis Ram, Robert Quinn with more than $13,000 and helped Quinn sell game-used equipment, according to court documents. Hawkins is also alleged to have improperly contacted a UNC football player in 2013 regarding agent representation.

According to search warrants unsealed in July and reviewed by the Associated Press, Hawkins acted as an “agent/runner” by befriending other athletes, providing illegal improper benefits and brokering meetings with agents and advisers despite not being registered as required by law.

The search warrants from the past year sought records for financial and online accounts for the former UNC and Marshall player in a 5-year-old Secretary of State’s investigation, which began amid a 2010 NCAA probe into UNC’s football program. Hawkins was barred from school athletes and facilities that year and is one of five charged.

Fourteen Tar Heels missed at least one game in 2010 and seven were forced to sit all season in a case that led to NCAA sanctions in March 2012.

Both probes focused largely on ex-players Quinn, Marvin Austin and Greg Little. But roughly 75 pages of unsealed documents include other examples, including ex-player Kendric Burney telling investigators in October 2013 that he received monthly payments from Hawkins while an eligible athlete.

Burney, who missed six games in 2010 for improper benefits from Hawkins connected to trips, said Hawkins paid him and other players for agent meetings, the documents state.

Burney said Hawkins arranged and attended his meetings with financial adviser Marty Blazer and agent Peter Schaffer — two people who exchanged hundreds of calls with Hawkins, according to phone records cited in the warrants.

Assistant District Attorney Jeff Nieman told WCHL Hawkins will now have a first appearance in Superior Court at an undetermined date.
