New York Knicks guard Jason Kidd was arrested early Sunday morning for DWI after crashing his car into a telephone pole according to the Southampton Patch.

Details are still emerging, but Southampton Town police confirmed that the basketball star was arrested during the midnight shift.

Kidd, 39, was arraigned on a misdemeanor DWI charge on Sunday morning in Southampton Town Justice Court and released on his own recognizance.

The NBA veteran Kidd just signed a three-year, $9.5 million deal with the Knicks last week after spending the previous four seasons with the Dallas Mavericks.
