PHOENIX (AP) -- Phoenix Suns guard Jason Richardson apologized Tuesday for creating a "distraction" after being accused of driving under the influence of alcohol.
A citation filed in court says the ex-Michigan State star was stopped by a Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community police officer in the early morning of Dec. 21.
"The only thing I really have to say is, I just want to apologize for the distraction to my teammates, to the Suns organization, especially the fans," Richardson said after practice Tuesday. "It's a distraction going on, but I'm just going to let the judicial system take its course."
Richardson is accused of having a blood alcohol level above 0.08 percent while driving a 2008 Mercedes. He's also accused of failure to drive in one lane.
Richardson declined to discuss the incident further on the advice of his lawyer, whom he did not identify.
