Robert Griffin III’s father sentenced to 10 days in jail for speeding
Robert Griffin Jr., the father of Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III, has been sentenced to 10 days in jail for reckless driving.
Ryan Murphy of the Newport News Daily Press reports that Griffin Jr. was ticketed for driving 115 mph on I-64 in Hampton, Va., back on Aug. 2. The speed limit where he was traveling was 60 mph, so he was arrested for reckless driving.
Griffin pleaded not guilty to the charge but was found guilty on Wednesday and sentenced to 60 days in jail, with 50 days suspended. The court has agreed to allow him to serve his active sentence on consecutive weekends. Griffin was also fined $500.
RG3’s dad has been very vocal in support of his son over the years. You may remember when he tried to play a role in the Redskins’ coaching search a couple years back, which did not work out. Instead, the elder Griffin’s son has been playing for a coach who seems to hate him.
