90 in a 35?![]()
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Phoenix Suns guard Jason Richardson was arrested in Scottsdale after police said he was driving 55 mph above the limit with his unrestrained 3-year-old son in the car.
A Scottsdale police officer first saw Richardson driving 67 mph in a 40 mph zone Sunday night and followed him, police said Monday. That's when the officer clocked him at 90 mph in a 35 mph zone and pulled him over.
Police said Richardson admitted to speeding and identified himself as a Suns player. The officer saw Richardson's son in the back seat of the car and that he was not in a child seat.
Richardson said he had taken his son to dinner and was on his way home.
He was arrested and charges with reckless driving, excessive speeding and failure to use a child seat. He was released from jail after a few hours.
Police said Richardson's wife responded to the scene of the stop and took custody of the boy.
Richardson was cited in December on su ion of driving under the influence of alcohol. He was stopped by a Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community police officer and accused of having a blood alcohol level above 0.08 percent and of failure to drive in one lane.
At the time, Richardson called the incident "one stupid mistake I made," and he said he hoped it wouldn't change the public's perception of him.
Richardson and forward Jared Dudley were traded in December 2008 to the Suns in exchange for guards Raja Bell and Sean Singletary, and forward Boris Diaw.
The only thing he did right was not getting a DWI. But 90!? You don't even need to get in a wreck, just sudden stop or manuever could send you kid flying inside the vehicle and hurt him.
Regarding Kerr, ya I wouldn't mind seeing him fired... He's higher on my list than porter.

Suns’ Richardson suspended for a game after arrest
In a brief statement, the Suns said Richardson would miss Tuesday night’s home game against the Los Angeles Clippers “for conduct detrimental to the team.”
Besides of the fact he was speeding and could have killed his son, you're telling me a guy that earns millions of dollars can't buy a radar detector? Some people are just flat out stupid.
speeding and not using a child seat for his son?
take his license away for a year.
what can go wrong with driving 90 mph while having a kid not in a car seat?
anyway, he probably had to take a huge dump or he was just really distraught about Terry Porter getting fired

throw him in jail
and leave him their
he is not a superstar
yeah lets think about your self and not the safety of others on the road and the kid
He got arrested and didn't kill anybody. Move the on.
Aren't you supposed to be starting some thread hating on Manu?
Where is this guy's head? 90 in a 35 with his kid! He deserves more then just a 1 game suspension. He is extremely lucky this was not alot worse.
Well, if he crashes his car, at least his blood line ends with him.
O great idea judge his jailtime based on whether he's a star or not. Great message you're sending to the star players on their high school team.
isn't these the same things the suns are asking him to do on the court especially the child seat part, or is that shaq's domain?He was arrested and charges with reckless driving, excessive speeding and failure to use a child seat. He was released from jail after a few hours.
But if it was a DUI, it'd be a different story. Right, ballijuana?
Maybe he was speeding after the same ho Barkley was chasing?
he got excited hearing that they are going back to run and gun.
