This is NOT the way to start off a brand new contract. The newest New York Knick, Jason Kidd, was arrested for DWI after partying it up in the Hamptons last night.
Deets inside...
He's 39 and been in the league for 18 years. But Jason Kidd is still making rookie mistakes. Just days after signing his brand new 3-year $9 million contract with the New York Knicks, Mr. Kidd took his wife, Porschla and their 2 kids (including brand new baby girl) to the Hamptons. And was arrested for Driving While Intoxicated after having a few too many.
After attending Ne-Yo & George Lucas' big "Fostering A Legacy" benefit in East Hampton Saturday night (pictured above), Jason was stopped by Southampton Police early Sunday morning. The police department confirms that Kidd was taken into custody, arraigned on a misdemeanor DWI charge early this morning, and then released on his own recognizance.
There has been no statement by Jason on the matter as of yet. Jason bought a home in the Watermill section of the Hamptons last year for $5.97 mill.
*UPDATE* Jason was spotted getting carried out the club, SL East, right before he copped a DWI. Apparently, he was so drunk that he couldn't manage to walk out alone. But he surely hopped behind the wheel of his car. And he crashed it--which led to his citation.
