FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- This looks bad forSheldon Richardson, real bad. Two weeks after getting suspended by the NFL on a marijuana violation, he gets into his 2014 Bentley and decides to be Mario Andretti, allegedly racing another car up to speeds of 143 mph, according to police.
Wait, it gets worse: He allegedly speeds away from police, trying to hide in a stranger's driveway. The police track him down, smell marijuana in the car and find a loaded handgun under the seat.
Now, the really bad part: There's a 12-year-old kid in the car.
