New York, July 16 (ANI): NBA star Jason Kidd was charged for driving under the influence of alcohol, after he rammed his SUV in a telephone pole in Hamptons on Saturday.
The 39-year-old basketball player joined the Knicks this month after five National Basketball Association seasons with the Dallas Mavericks.
According to a statement from the Southampton Town Police Department, the sport star's 2010 Cadillac Escalade initially struck the pole near the intersection of Cobb Road and Little Cobb Road in the hamlet of Water Mill, and swerved into the woods.
Kidd's attorney Edward Burke Jr. said in a statement that Kidd suffered minor injuries and has pleaded not guilty.
The Knicks didn't immediately comment on the incident and the NBA said it was monitoring the situation.
After being released from the hospital, the player was taken to police headquarters, where he was held until his arraignment in the morning before being released on his own recognizance. (ANI)
