Richardson, the former Seahawks wideout who signed with the Redskins last month, tweeted that he got pulled over in a toll lane, leading to the questions from the trooper.

"Before asking my name he asked me if I was in a gang, then minutes later told me he thought I was a dealer (drugs)," Richardson posted.
