Jason Kidd got a DWI last night after car accident in New York!!

FROM USA TODAY:

Jason Kidd made surprising headlines with his decision to join the New York Knicks as a free agent.

Now he's making surprising headlines for doing the wrong things off the court.

The 10-time All-Star point guard, who on Thursday signed his 3-year, $9.5 million contract with the Knicks, was arrested early Sunday for alleged drunken driving, according to police in Southampton Town (N.Y.) .

Kidd, 39, was arraigned on a misdemeanor DWI charge and released.

Police said Kidd's 2010 Cadillac Escalade struck a telephone pole and went into the woods near the intersection of Cobb Road and Little Cobb Road in Water Mill. Kidd's house in the Hamptons was nearby. Kidd was the lone passenger in the accident, which reportedly took place around 2 a.m.

Kidd was transported to the Southampton Hospital for treatment of minor injuries before dealing with the police.

"We await further discovery from the district attorney's office," Sag Harbor attorney Eddie Burke Jr. said.

Kidd has faced trouble with the law before. He was arrested and eventually pleaded guilty for a domestic violence charge in January of 2001.
