Tennessee Titans wide receiver Kenny Britt has pleaded not guilty to three disorderly person charges resulting from a June arrest in New Jersey, according to the Newark Star-Ledger. He entered the plea in Hoboken Municipal Court.
Kenny Britt Pleads Not Guilty To Disorderly Charges
The arrest was the Britt’s sixth since 2009. The former Rutgers star will stand trial Sep. 20. Per the Star-Ledger:
Britt was arrested June 8 in Hoboken by plainclothes narcotics officers who claimed Britt crushed a marijuana cigar in his hands to conceal it from investigators. Britt was initially charged third-degree resisting arrest, fourth-degree tampering and fourth-degree obstruction, but they were downgraded to disorderly persons charges of resisting arrest and hindering prosecution after an initial court appearance.
Britt was apparently trying The Michael Beasley Loophole on for size, but must not have realized that NFL Commissioner Roger Gooddell won’t play that stuff, even during the lockout. Britt’s Sep. 20 court date was scheduled for a Tuesday so he didn’t have to miss a game or practice with the Titans, but it’s possible that he could be suspended regardless, if there is even an NFL season at that point.
Britt has also been arrested for making inaccurate statements on his driver’s license after turning himself in to Tennessee police June 29.
