Carmelo Stopped For Speeding In Denver

DENVER (CBS4) ― Denver Nuggets star Carmelo Anthony was cited for allegedly speeding Saturday, the Rocky Mountain News reports. It is the second traffic offense Anthony has been involved with in the last 3 weeks.

A Denver officer pulled Anthony over in the 2400 block of South Santa Fe Drive after getting a radar gun indication of 15 to 19 mph over the 45 mph speed limit, the Rocky reported.

Denver police spokesman Sonny Jackson said the ticket does not require Anthony to make a court appearance. He can plead guilty and pay a $130 fine if he mails it in within 20 days, Jackson said.

The ticket does edge Anthony close to a scenario where he could have his driver's license suspended.

Anthony, 23, he was arrested early April 14 on suspicion of drunken driving. In that case, an officer stopped him for driving erratically at 4 a.m. on southbound Interstate 25. That case is pending.

CBS4 Investigator Brian Maass learned last week that blood tests showed Anthony's blood alcohol level was .148 the morning of the alleged DUI stop.
