for violating the leagues substance abuse policy, a bombshell hit Florham Park yesterday shortly after practice had wrapped up when\u00a0reports began to surface that put Richardson back in the spotlight.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nRichardson, a Missouri native, was arrested in St. Charles County, MO. after being clocked at 143 MPH in a 50 MPH zone in what is believed to have been a drag race.\u00a0 The other occupants of the car were two adults and a twelve-year old child.\u00a0 The police report also noted an odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle.\u00a0 Below is copy of the full arrest report pulled from Rand Getlin of the NFL network:<\/p>\n

Even with a litany of potential charges, initial reports suggested Richardson would only be\u00a0hit with resisting arrest but the NFL network later included child endangerment in an updated report.\u00a0 Given the exposure the case is sure to face from this point on, it may be too early to rule out additional charges.<\/p>\n
In terms of his time with the Jets and in the NFL, the charges are almost irrelevant as the league has never been under more scrutiny for its handling off off-field issues and is looking to clamp down on this type of behavior.\u00a0 As bizarre as it may sound, the drugs and speeding in excess of 140 MPH should be afterthoughts in this particular situation.\u00a0 It’s the fully loaded gun while under the influence of drugs in the presence of a 12-year old.<\/p>\n
NFL insider Mike Freeman\u00a0confirmed as much,\u00a0claiming that three different unidentified team reps said they think Richardson has already played his last down in the NFL with those individuals citing the gun and age of the child as their reasoning.<\/p>\n
