Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders landed himself in the headlines this week after being cited by Ohio State Police for driving 101 mph in a 60 mph zone in the wee hours of Tuesday morning, but apparently this wasn’t his first rodeo.
ESPN –
According to a Medina [Ohio] Municipal Court record that was filed June 6, Sanders was pulled over by the Ohio State Patrol earlier this month. In that alleged violation, which took place June 5 in Brunswick Hills, Ohio, the Ohio State Patrol told WJW-TV that Sanders was stopped for driving 91 mph in a 65 mph zone.
According to the record, Sanders failed to appear for an arraignment for that citation on Monday and faces $269 in fines and court costs. He was then stopped by an officer for the Strongsville (Ohio) Police Department at 12:24 a.m. Tuesday morning for driving 41 mph over the posted 60 mph speed limit in a black Dodge TRX truck.
The Browns have addressed the citations with Sanders, according to Cleveland.com.
“He is taking care of the tickets,” team spokesman Peter John-Baptiste told the media outlet.
For the most recent citation, Sanders must either pay a $250 fine for the fourth-degree misdemeanor or fight the ticket in Strongsville Mayor’s Court on July 3. Sanders, 23, participated in the Browns’ mandatory minicamp last week.
