FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Todd Bowles says the New York Jets were surprised and disappointed by Sheldon Richardson’s recent arrest — and the fact the defensive lineman didn’t disclose it to the team until after media reports surfaced.
Richardson was charged Thursday with resisting arrest in Missouri on July 14, less than two weeks after he was suspended four games by the NFL for violating the league’s drug abuse policy. According to the police report, Richardson was caught racing another car while going as fast as 143 mph before speeding away from police with three passengers, including a 12-year-old boy.
Richardson says Friday he must make better decisions with his life. Bowles says “you lose a lot of trust” in someone for hiding that type of incident, but is “worried about Sheldon, the man.”
