At least he should be able to afford a good lawyer.

Washington Redskins defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth has been indicted in Tennessee on two misdemeanor traffic charges after an accident that seriously injured another driver.


District Attorney Kim Helper of Williamson County said Thursday that Haynesworth was indicted this week on charges of reckless driving and having expired registration.


Haynesworth, a former Tennessee Titan who signed with the Redskins last month, was released after surrendering Wednesday. Maximum punishment is six months and a $500 fine on the reckless driving charge and 30 days in jail and a $50 fine for the other charge.


The charges come from a Dec. 13 incident in which Haynesworth was trying to pass another driver, who crashed into a concrete median.


He should also be able to afford a decent chauffeur.
