PHOENIX (AP) -- Suns guard Jason Richardson is facing charges of driving under the influence of alcohol in an American Indian tribal community in metropolitan Phoenix.
A citation filed in court says the ex-Michigan State star was stopped by a Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community police officer in the early morning of Dec. 21.
Richardson is accused of having a blood alcohol level above 0.08 percent while driving a 2008 Mercedes. He's also accused of failure to drive in one lane.
Messages seeking comment were left Monday with Richardson lawyer Larry Kazan.
A hearing date hasn't been set.
Fantastic way to warm yourself up to a new fan base. You know, I almost feel bad for the Suns at this point. They just can't catch a break. Even on Christmas.
