New York Knicks point guard Jason Kidd took to Twitter on Friday to apologize for his recent arrest on a charge of driving while intoxicated.
"I regret any disruption my accident last weekend may have caused members of the community and want to thank the local authorities," Kidd tweeted.
He followed up with, "I'd also like to thank my family and friends for their support."
Kidd, 39, was charged with a misdemeanor after a single-car accident in the Hamptons. At around 2 a.m. Sunday, his 2010 Cadillac Escalade struck a telephone pole and went into the woods in Water Mill, a hamlet of the Town of Southampton, N.Y.
He was treated for minor injuries at Southampton Hospital.
The Southampton police told The New York Times that Kidd refused tests to measure the level of alcohol in his system. Kidd also declined a blood alcohol test at the hospital, according to the Times report.
The Times, citing paperwork filed by police for prosecutors, reported that Kidd told police, "I had a few drinks. I was going home from a club. I don't know what happened."
