Felony charges dropped vs. Jets WR Anderson

New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson will not face felony charges stemming from his arrest in Sunrise, Florida on Jan. 19, according to online court records.

He was charged with a single misdemeanor count of reckless driving last Friday, according to the records.

Anderson had been facing nine charges, including two felonies -- fleeing and eluding police with lights and sirens active (which was reduced to the misdemeanor charge of reckless and driving) and threatening a public servant or family member.

"The felony charge was downgraded to a misdemeanor charge due to a possible discrepancy regarding the initial estimated speed, but there is no doubt that the defendant was driving recklessly," the Broward County State Attorney's office said in a statement to NFL.
