An arrest warrant has been issued for Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson, as first reported by Andy Slater of SlaterScoops.com. Anderson was scheduled to appear in a Broward County, Florida court on Wednesday, but failed to show up for an arraignment, tweets Rich Cimini of ESPN.com. Anderson’s lawyer said he was unaware a hearing was scheduled, per Brian Costello of the New York Post (Twitter link).
Anderson, 24, was originally hit with nine charges after being arrested and threatening to sexually assault the wife of the arresting officer in January, but the three felonies — second-degree felony harm to a public servant or family, third-degree felony fleeing/eluding police while lights/siren active and third-degree felony speeding — have since been dropped.
Unfortunately, Anderson is also facing felony charges from a separate episode, as he was arrested last May after getting into a fight at a Miami music festival. Anderson is looking at charges of felony resisting arrest with violence and obstruction of police for that incident. Of course, the NFL could (and likely will) choose to impose a suspension on Anderson, regardless of the legal outcome of any of his cases.
Anderson enjoyed a breakout campaign with the Jets in 2017, registering 63 receptions for 941 yards and seven touchdowns in his second seasons in the league. A big-play threat, Anderson recorded six of his seven scoring grabs from more than 20 yards away from the goal line. New York has seemingly hedged against a possible Anderson ban by inking fellow pass-catchers Terrelle Pryor and Andre Roberts this offseason.
Oh, for *BLEEP*’s sake… just hand the man his walking papers.
maybe NYJ should consider Dez?
Jets have plenty of wide receivers and don’t need an aging windbag in the locker room.
Take away the personality issues and just grant him an average season, the Jets still aren’t a good fit for him. They’re building. Dez is a pick up for a team ready to win now.
Aging windbag Brandon Marshall didn’t work out too well in NY, no reason to try again.
Typical
How do these guys F up on such a consistent basis. You’re given all this money, its NOT a real job. You get paid to work out basically. I played, I know. It’s the easiest thing especially if you are naturally gifted. These clowns should be made to clean the most disgusting chipotle e coli burrito explosion toilets as sentences.
I love this
“It’s the easiest thing”, he said.
“these guys”
athletes
Nobody should be surprised. Not the Jets. Not even Anderson himself.
Quick! Blame the cops!!!
Or blame trump
Jets are becoming the new Bengals.
This is pretty awful. They should just cut him.
Cut this dude…..
If they were going to cut him Before now I don’t think this is the last straw
Were not
Do these guys ever ever learn? But give it a day or two and he and his agents / Lawyers will blame someone else or just blame society. They will say be been picked on for political reasons
I hope they don’t send the Broward Cowards after him, they’ll just hide instead of arrest him.
I wonder how many times the words” do you know who the f$@$ I am!” were used during his arrests.
dude has talent. he’s pissin away his career. just ignorant.
Typical Jets we get excited one week and then we get arrest warrants. Not a bad player don’t need the headache
