Robby Anderson has been charged with traffic-related violations on 10 occasions

 

New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson, who was charged with three felonies last month after allegedly fleeing police at 105 mph and threatening to sexually assault the arresting officer's wife, has a long history of problems on Florida's roadways.

Anderson has been charged with traffic-related violations on 10 different occasions in Broward and Orange counties since 2014, according to Florida court records. That includes five speeding tickets, with two in a 15-day span last spring.

While we're not talking about serious crimes, the pattern of behavior -- coupled with two arrests in the past nine months -- raises red flags.

Anderson's problems started in 2014, the year he was out of football. Because of bad grades, he was thrown out of Temple and went home to Florida, unsure of his future. Perhaps not coincidentally, he was charged in five separate traffic-related incidents in 2014, including one that resulted in misdemeanor charges for reckless driving and resisting arrest. The latter was eventually dropped. He paid a $401 fine and was required to attend driving school.

A few weeks later, on Aug. 28, 2014, Anderson was charged with speeding again (86 mph in a 65 mph zone) and his license was temporarily suspended. There was one non-traffic misdemeanor in 2014 -- disorderly conduct -- but that, too, was dropped.

Anderson returned to Temple in 2015 and despite an impressive year, he went undrafted in 2016. Off-the-field concerns hurt his draft stock, according to two opposing scouts. He wound up signing with the Jets as a free agent in April 2016. Since then, he has had five run-ins with police -- two speeding tickets, a seat belt violation and two arrests.

In fact, he was actually pulled over twice on the same day -- last March 29. At 11:25 a.m., he got hit with a seat belt infraction. At 10:57 p.m., he received a speeding ticket (86 mph in a 45).

On April 13, Anderson was nailed yet again for speeding (82 mph in a 45). As it turned out, the case was dismissed because the officer was a no-show in court.

Three weeks later, he made headlines for the wrong reason. On May 8, he was arrested at a music festival in Miami, where he was charged with resisting arrest with violence -- a felony. That case still is pending.

 

The most recent arrest happened in Sunrise, Florida, on Jan. 19, resulting in nine charges. He tried to elude police by speeding away and, once in custody, he resisted arrest, per court records. The most serious charge is threatening to harm a public servant or family member, a second-degree felony, stemming from his alleged comments about the officer's wife. Anderson pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Jets coach Todd Bowles still hasn't commented on Anderson's behavior or his status with the team. If the Jets wanted to cut him, they probably would've done it already. He's subject to league discipline under the personal-conduct policy and could be hit with a suspension. His Miami-based attorney, Edward O'Donnell, didn't return a call for comment.

Anderson, 24, who led the team in receiving yards and touchdowns last season, is an ascending player. The team recognizes he has maturity issues, but they appear willing to give him another chance.

2-3 game suspension

[detectivekimble]

Isn't it weird how he has no traffic violations in NJ?

[RedBeardedSavage]

I had my license suspended twice in my twenties.  I received tickets for multiple violations (speeding, seatbelts, brake lights) and then ignored the tickets associated at which point New York State suspended my license.  

I was young and irresponsible but not a bad guy.  Eventually, I learned my lesson - mainly because of the fines and my skyrocket high insurance.  

The real question here is the 'resisting arrest with violence' charge.  That's the only one that bothers me.  I don't care that he said something about a cop's wife; a lot of cops can be condescending as f*** in the moment.  The real question here is the 'resisting arrest' charge.  If that's real, his future here and generally in the NFL is on thin ice.  If it was blown out of proportion, then his suspension won't be so long and he can (hopefully) put the rest of this sh*t behind him.  

[Freemanm]

What he said about the cop's wife was a juvenile insult and hardly constitutes a true threat to the cop's family member. The speeding does need to be controlled, but is not really a major crime (hey, I just got a speeding ticket on the NJ Turnpike last week). On the bright side, maybe he can hit the weight room during his two game suspension?

[JetPotato]

What an idiot.

You're rich. Get a driver. Call an Uber. Stay home.

Moron.

[MDL_JET]

Soooooo he’ll be ready for camp or nah?

[Matthew007b]

why does he even have to run from the police?  At those speeds he's lucky he didn't kill anyone..  

He deserves jail time.

[NoBowles]

A football player can’t even rape a cops wife and Nut in her eye anymore, what’s the world coming to?? I think all the players should kneel for this next year!

[DMan77]

No car keys for you! 

[Beerfish]

I've had one speeding ticket in the road in my life and one photo rader one.  I cannot at all relate to this kind of sh*t.

[Apache 51]

Black guys don't know how to drive.

[rex-n-effect]

People are always complaining that we don't have speedy receivers. Now they complain our receivers have too much speed. Make up your mind.

[bla bla bla]

I don't think this changes anything, he'll play here this year and possibly next year as a RFA but I don't see use handing him a long term deal.

 I don’t think it’s all Robby’s fault. The Jets have been telling him for a couple of years now to flash that speed. 

 ........Maybe he just misinterpreted what that meant.

Robby can’t drive 55

No

[fltflo]

Listen,
He was stupid to run his mouth, black,white, male,female, young or old, “Yes sir or Ma’am or no sir or ma’am should be the only words coming out of your mouth
I have run in to some serious “anal retentive penises” with weapons and badges who are on power trips and have forgotten long ago who the work for. There is just no winning with these folks and they treat you like the enemy.
I have also run into many great police officers who if you treat them with respect you get it right back and often times you drive away with just a warning.
Robby is a young dumb ass who likes to go fast. There are many out there like him,age wise.
Being a young black man, he should know acting this way in this country at this time is life treating.
Down here there are many places where he can go and drive as fast as he dare,Legally!!!!
I would tell him any more incidents like this and his speedy butt can go stock groceries at Publix.
Grow up sir and realize God has given you a great talent. It can allow you to take care of your family for a life time, with responsible planning.
Or you can continue to be stupid and lose it all.

Did this report change how you felt about him?

Probably not, I'm sure the Jets knew about all these issues. I stand by my point of him not lasting longer than a year or two with us.

[JetFaninMI]

Whats alarming is that the seriousness of the infractions is escalating. Another alarming factor is there is no mention of alcohol or drugs being involved. Maybe he has a medical condition that needs to be addressed. Maybe he has something in his past that is eating him up inside. Maybe he's just an a-hole. The thing is the guy needs to get his sh*t together and not just for playing football but for his life. Sooner or later he is going to wind up hurting himself or someone else. Hopefully he figures it out or gets help before that happens.

[JetsHex]

Young and dumb...so was I at that age. Hopefully this can be a life lesson for the kid and he can learn how to control his emotions and start understanding what is important in his life. It's time to cut those dreads, improve vocabulary and re-orient priorites.  Every mistake and failure is a lesson learned.

Not much that would change my opinion of this kid....has “some” talent, makes some plays... is he worth the headaches? Wait 2-6 games next year for him????

Much like with Revis, Sheldon, and ASJ I think they let the situation play out. We may get a suspension this year if his first arrest sticks but we likely won't see an outcome to his most recent arrest until he is a RFA.

Is this kid worth the headache though?  I lean towards no....you?

If he was a headache to deal with I think they'd have cut him already but I really don't think this will be a big deal come game 1. I think we will look at WR in FA now or possibly the 2-4 rounds in the draft, I don't think that was a priority prior to Robby's arrest. 

[Kleckineau]

If he couldnt run fast and catch a football at the same time he would be standing around with his pants falling off with the other jackasses from his High School days. Who can say with any certainty but so many times kids like this have been let down by poor role models / parents.

[thebuzzardman]

Even when driving, the world is too slow for Robbie. 

[Fantasy Island]

He needs a radar detector and some glasses.   When you hear beeps slow down and when you see cops slow down.  The seat belt violations are total BS money makers , but appease Johnny Law and wear them.  

[The Crusher]

Well we already knew he was fast. None story . 

[BurnleyJet]

Some times Robbie gives dumb people a bad name..

He’s not rich and he’s never going to be rich if he doesn’t grow the f up.  At a minimum he should lose his license.  Then maybe he should stay the hell out of FL.

[flgreen]

He's just misunderstood...  This will be his plea to the judge

 

Dear, dear, dear kindly Sergeant Krupke you gotta understand
It's just our bringin' up-ke that gets us out of hand
Our mothers all are junkies, our fathers all are drunks
Golly Moses, naturally we're punks

Gee, Officer Krupke we're very upset
We never had the love that every child oughta get
We ain't no delinquents, we're misunderstood
Deep down inside us there is good

There is good, there is good
There is good, there is untapped good
Like inside the worst of us is good
Oh, look at that good, good baby
That's a nice baby actually, yeah

Oh, that's a touchin' good story
Oh well, lemme tell it to the world
Just tell it to the judge
Ooh yeah, judge, that's a good idea, stop

Dear kindly judge, your honor, my parents treat me rough
With all their marijuana they won't give me a puff
They didn't wanna have me but somehow I was had
Leapin' lizards, that's why I'm so bad

Right, Officer Krupke you're really a square
This boy don't need a judge, he needs an analyst's care
It's just his neurosis that oughta be curbed
He's psychologically disturbed

I'm disturbed
We're disturbed, we're disturbed
We're the most disturbed
Like we're psychologically disturbed

Hear ye, hear ye, in the opinion on this court
This child is depraved on account
He ain't had a normal home
Hey, I'm depraved on account I'm deprived

So take him to a headshrinker
Oh no, goodbye buddy boy

My father's a bastard, my ma's an S.O.B
My grandpa's always plastered, my grandma pushes tea
My sister wears a mustache, my brother wears a dress
Goodness gracious, that's why I'm a mess

Yes, Officer Krupke you're really a slob
This boy don't need a doctor just a good honest job
Society's played him a terrible trick
And sociologically he's sick

I am sick
We are sick, we are sick
We are sick, sick, sick,
Like we're sociologically sick, oh yeah

In my opinion this child don't need to have his head shrunk at all
Juvenile delinquency is purely a social disease
Hey, I got a social disease
So take him to a social worker

Dear kindly, social worker, they say go earn a buck
Like be a soda jerker which means like be a schmuck
It's not I'm antisocial, I'm only anti-work
Gloryosky, that's why I'm a jerk

Officer Krupke, you've done it again
This boy don't need a job, he needs a year in the pen
It ain't just a question of misunderstood
Deep down inside him he's no good

I'm no good
We're no good, we're no good
We're no earthly good
Like the best of us is no damn good

The trouble is he's crazy, the trouble is he drinks
The trouble is he's lazy, the trouble is he stinks
The trouble is he's growing, the trouble is he's grown
Krupke, we got troubles of our own

Gee, Officer Krupke we're down on our knees
'Cause no one wants a fellow with a social disease
Gee, Officer Krupke what are we to do?
Gee, Officer Krupke, Krup you
