ST. LOUIS (CBSNewYork/AP) — A day after New York Jets defensive lineman Sheldon Richardson’s four-game drug suspension ended, a judge on Monday postponed the Pro Bowler’s hearing on charges stemming from his arrest in Missouri this summer following a police chase.
The St. Charles County judge postponed the hearing until Nov. 9 at the request of Richardson’s attorney. Richardson completed a four-game suspension Sunday for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy, namely for using marijuana. That suspension came 12 days before his Missouri arrest, which carries a possibility of more discipline because it violates the league’s personal conduct policy.
