Jets' Richardson pleads not guilty to resisting arrest

Sheldon Richardson pleaded not guilty Monday to the resisting arrest charges and traffic violations facing him stemming from a July 14 incident in Missouri, according to multiple reports.

Richardson was not in court himself but was represented by his attorney, Matthew Fry. There will be a pre-trial hearing Oct. 5, according to St. Charles County Courthouse.

The Jets defensive lineman’s charges stem from a July 14 incident in which police said he was driving in a high-speed road race and was clocked at 143 mph. A 12-year-old boy and two other adult men were in the car with Richardson, and it smelled like marijuana, according to authorities.
