Browns’ Edwards fined, ordered to do community service

AVON LAKE — Cleveland Browns wide receiver Braylon Edwards will pay $252 in fines and court costs and do 30 hours of community service for doing 120 mph on Interstate 90.

Edwards pleaded no contest Tuesday to a speeding ticket and was sentenced by Avon Lake Municipal Judge Darrel Bilancini.

Before sentencing, Edwards apologized to the court, but made no mention of the speed he was traveling.

Edwards, who lives in Avon Lake, was traveling nearly twice the 65-mph speed limit when he was pulled over about 2:20 a.m. on Aug. 29, according to Avon police.

Officers allowed Edwards to leave the scene with a verbal warning because a female passenger in his 2005 Bentley vomited during the traffic stop.

Edwards was issued a ticket by Avon police about two weeks later after a television station aired details of the stop, and the officer who stopped Edwards received a written reprimand for the incident.
