Jets defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson pleaded not guilty through an attorney on Monday to resisting arrest and various traffic charges stemming from his July 14 arrest in Missouri.
Richardson, 24, was not required to attend Monday's arraignment, and instead was represented by Matthew D. Fry, an attorney who works for the same St. Louis-based law firm as Richardson's defense attorney of record, Scott Rosenblum.
Both Fry and The St. Charles (Missouri) County Courthouse confirmed to Newsday that Richardson's hearing has been continued to Oct. 5. Fry also said that Richardson is not ordered to appear in court at that time.
