New York Giants rookie quarterback Kyle Lauletta was arrested Tuesday morning for a traffic violation in Weehawken, New Jersey, a source confirmed to ESPN.
NJ Advance Media first reported the incident.
Lauletta was reportedly trying to make a right turn from the wrong lane to get to Route 495 West. He was told to keep going straight, but made the turn anyway and nearly ran over the officer at the scene. Lauletta was then stopped by another office at the end of the on-ramp.
"We were made aware of the situation this morning, and we have been in contact with Kyle," coach Pat Shurmur said in a statement.
