trouble with the law after being arrested this morning in Southhampton NY. Kidd allegedly crashed in a telephone pole and was later arrested on suspicion of drunk driving. Kidd was the only person in the car at the time.
While the Knicks were making tough decisions on who would be their starting point guard, the heralded backup, Jason Kidd, was arrested Sunday morning on suspicion of drunk driving after crashing into a telephone pole in Southhampton, according to Sgt. Michael Burns of the Southampton Police Dept.
Kidd, 39, the only person in his 2010 Cadillac Escalade, was treated at for minor injuries following the single-car accident that occurred at 1:56 a.m. near Kidd’s summer home in the Hamptons, according to police. He was treated at Southampton Hospital, transferred to Southampton police station for processing, and then arraigned on a misdemeanor DWI charge, according to police.
Kidd was released after being charged.
Kidd, the former Nets star and future Hall of Famer, signed a three-year, $9.5 million deal with the Knicks on Thursday. He was under the impression that he’d be backing up Lin in a mentor role, but the Knicks reached a deal for Raymond Felton on Saturday and indications are Lin isn’t coming back.
Kidd pled guilty to a domestic violence charge in 2001 stemming from an incident involving his ex-wife, Joumana. He is now married to Porschla Coleman, a former model.Kidd, a 10-time All-Star, led the Nets to back-to-back Finals appearances before winning a title with the Dallas Mavericks in 2011. He chose the Knicks this summer over the Mavericks.
