New York Jets defensive lineman Sheldon Richardson has pled not guilty to traffic and resisting arrest charges stemming from a high-speed car chase earlier this summer in Missouri.
Richardson didn’t attend the hearing for the charges and wasn’t required to do so. Instead, he was represented by Matthew D. Fry, who is “an attorney who works for the same St. Louis-based law firm as Richardson’s defense attorney of record, Scott Rosenblum,” per Newsday.
The hearing has been bumped to October 5, and Richardson isn’t required to attend that hearing, either.
Richardson avoided charges of child endangerment and marijuana possession/use while driving after the district attorney couldn’t prove either charge.
