ST. CHARLES, Mo. (AP) β New York Jets defensive lineman Sheldon Richardson will be back in court in Missouri on Oct. 5 after pleading not guilty to resisting arrest and traffic charges.
Richardson’s attorney entered the plea Monday on his behalf in St. Charles County, near St. Louis. Richardson was not present. A spokeswoman for the St. Charles County prosecutor’s office says it isn’t certain if a trial date will be set at the October hearing.
All five charges are misdemeanors.
Richardson, a former University of Missouri star, is accused of driving his 2014 Bentley Silver Spur at speeds up to 143 mph on July 14. Police say he had a loaded semi-automatic handgun under a floor mat on the driver’s side, and a 12-year-old male relative was among three passengers.
