Phoenix Suns guard Jason Richardson was accused by police of driving under the influence of alcohol when he was stopped Dec. 21 by a Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community officer.

Richardson was stopped at 2:48 a.m. at the Loop 101 freeway and Thomas Road, according to citation filed at West Mesa Justice Court. He also was accused of failure to drive in one lane and speeding.

The ticket said the officer clocked Richardson traveling 65 mph in a 55 mph zone as he headed south on the freeway in a white 2008 Mercedes Benz.

Richardson, 26, was cited and released pending a preliminary appearance that is yet to be scheduled. Larry Kazan, a defense attorney who specializes in DUI cases, has notified the court that he will represent Richardson.

Are you kidding me, another NBA guy accused of DUI?!?! Look how Barkley’s DUI was released to the public the same morning he got caught, while Richardsons has taken almost two weeks to surface. Goes to show how bad Sherriff Joe wants the pub, while the Indian Community just wants to enforce the law. The Phoenix jails should have some wicked pickup games in the yard here soon.
