Jets’ Sheldon Richardson, Already Suspended, Is Charged With Resisting Arrest

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Around 4:45 p.m. Thursday, Jets defensive lineman Sheldon Richardson, suspended the first four games of the season for violating the N.F.L’s substance abuse policy, said he told the team that it did not have to worry about his name being in the news again.
Less than two hours later, the St. Charles County prosecuting attorney’s office in Missouri announced that Richardson had been charged with resisting arrest and several traffic violations after a car he was driving was clocked at 143 miles per hour.
