Some states require that charges get filed against a person if they cause an accident. By reading this it seems they just filed the charges against him (after an investigation of the accident) because he turned himself in and was released today. I'd also guess because he was trying to pass the other person the standard charge for this is reckless driving and the other charge gets thrown out if he shows to have the car registered. He goes to court and the judge reduces the reckless driving down to something else and its a done deal. Thats the legal part but I'm sure he is going to get a nice fat lawsuit but that could depend on the states laws. I would also guess that the Redskins knew all about this and did not think it was that big of a deal.
