Arrest warrant issued for Jets' Anderson after missed court date
Robby Anderson appears to be in some legal trouble yet again, as an arrest warrant has been issued for the New York Jets receiver in South Florida, according to Broward County court records, per the New York Daily News.
Anderson or an attorney were apparently due in court Tuesday stemming from a driving arrest in January, but his lawyer, Ed O'Donnell, claimed there was no notice given for the receiver to appear.
"I received no notice," O'Donnell told the Daily News on Wednesday night. "Robby received no notice. And the bondsman received no notice. A written plea of Not Guilty was filed on January 29th. Since that date, we've never gotten any notice to be in court for this matter.
"I intend to take care of this (Thursday) … First I got to figure out where it is. I didn't even know who issued the warrant for non-appearance … Craziness. Craziness."
Anderson's previous charges included harming a public servant and aggravated fleeing police, but both were dismissed. He's still facing a lesser charge of reckless driving that was slated to be addressed in court Tuesday.
Anderson is also awaiting a separate trial in August after being arrested at a music festival in Miami last May.
The 24-year-old had a breakout season with the Jets in 2017, catching 63 passes for 941 yards and seven scores.
