Today's Father of the Year candidate comes to us from the Phoenix Suns......where one of their guards, Jason Richardson, was arrested after police said he was driving 55 mph above the limit with his unrestrained 3-year-old son in the car. Nice!!
A law-man first saw Richardson driving 67 in a 40 on Sunday night and being intrigued by this fact, he decided to follow that car. That's when the officer clocked him at 90 mph in a 35 and pulled him over.
Richardson said he had taken his son to dinner and was on his way home....really fast!!! He was arrested and charged with reckless driving, excessive speeding and failure to use a child seat. Police called his wife to come get the kid from the scene of the stop, which had to be nice.
And this follows Richardson being cited in December on suspicion of a DUI. At that time, he called the incident "one stupid mistake I made," and said he hoped it wouldn't change the public's perception of him. If that's a stupid mistake...what do you call going 90 in a 35 with your kid crawling around in the back seat??
I wouldn't sweat the public perception though. After the last couple weeks...the public pretty much EXPECTS ALL high profile athletes to be morons!
