Albert Haynesworth Indicted on 2 Traffic Charges in Tennessee

Albert HaynesworthAlbert Haynesworth was involved in a Dec. 13 accident in Tennessee that resulted in another driver suffering serious injuries after the Redskins' newest defensive tackle attempted to pass another driver, resulting in a collision with the concrete median.

And now Haynesworth has been indicted by a grand jury in Tennessee on two misdemeanor traffic charges: one for reckless driving and one for having an expired registration.

In the state of Tennessee, a reckless driving charge carries a maximum punishment of six months in prison and a $500 charge, while the second charge could result in up to 30 days in jail and a $50 fine.

The notion that anyone could receive a month in prison for failing to maintain proper registration tags seems a touch far-fetched, though, and may be a fairly strong barometer for how this case will play out in the Tennessee courts.

The more important issue, though, is that the Washington Redskins' newest $100 million man suddenly finds himself in early hot water, and given Daniel Snyder's recent history of free agent signings, it's certainly not a confidence booster.
