New York Jets defensive end Sheldon Richardson is facing charges of resisting arrest along with “numerous traffic violations” after refusing to pull over for a traffic stop near St. Louis earlier this month, a local prosecutor announced today. But what really stands out are the speeds that police said Richardson reached before he stopped; the probable cause statement from the O’Fallon Police Department said a radar gun clocked his 2014 Bentley Flying Spur W12 going 122, 135, and 143 miles per hour.
He may be facing more penalties than his current 4 game suspension for substance abuse. Tons of talent, but he seems like a real winner.
Unlucky 13subscriberYou would think that his suspension is now at least doubled, and that the league might boot him for the year. I've read that if he's charged and convicted of the crimes he's accused of, he'd go to jail long enough that what the NFL did or didn't do becomes irrelevant.
firedanforum_veteranHe has to much money to go to jail.
texanphinaticforum_veteranInteresting take I am seeing is that Wilkerson could potentially use this as leverage, since the Jets reportedly are hesitant to endorse Richardson. Wonder how much they knew of his behavior when taking Leonard Williams as well.
Unlucky 13subscriberWell, apparently he will only be charge with a misdemeanor involving speeding because the prosecutor doesn't feel like its worth it to go after him for anything else. Hopefully, the league will put the hammer down even though the law has failed in doing so.
