Sheldon Richardson avoided prison for the resisting arrest charge he received last July after police clocked him driving at 143 miles per hour in a high-speed road race in Missouri.
The Jets defensive lineman received two years bench probation and 100 hours of community service for the resisting arrest charge on a plea deal Tuesday, according to Richardson’s attorney, Scott Rosenblum. The resisting arrest charge will be wiped from Richardson’s record upon completion of the probation and community service. Bench probation means he will not have to report to a probation officer.
Richardson also received just over $1,000 in fines from four traffic violations.
