WASHINGTON (WUSA) — What a welcome to the east coast that Redskins' wide receiver Paul Richardson received Monday afternoon.
The new roster member was pulled over by Virginia Police for a traffic stop.
The following tweets were recently deleted by Richardson.
As seen in the tweets, Richardson alleged that the officer asked him if he was in a gang, and if he thought he was a dealer (drugs).
WUSA9 Sports reached out to the Redskins for a comment, but was told no comment.
A few hours after deleting the tweets explaining what happened, Richardson tweeted again, saying "It's true, but tweeting about it wasn't the right way to deal."
We'll have updates as the story continues to develop.
